FOG, CANTERBURY, LATE EVENING Ingredients: One man, mid-fifties, collar raised. Decades — as many as the city holds. Cerulean blue, titanium white: enough to drown in. One amber window. One green light, haloed. Wet asphalt, raw umber, to taste. Scaffolding (optional — dissolve before serving). Method: Allow the fog to arrive before the man. Press the heritage stone through white gauze until only suggestion remains. Let the bar light bleed; do not stop it. Add the figure small, centred, hands loose — not lonely, but held inside the holding. The mural on the concrete wall: half-visible is enough. Turn up the silence until it has weight. Serves: one corner. One decade. One man standing in it. Does not keep. Eat while dissolved.
