Neverwhere

L for London...



A little L-shaped hand
before a travelling southward wall.
A wall which could be a hidden door...

You know, my dear, there are so many doors
and lots of them seem not to be easily found
but I deeply love them...
'cause they lead to possibilities...
They put two people - worlds, fantasies, dreams
or anything else you're wondering at -
in touch with each other...
... they are magical places.

And what about you?
Do you like to search for doors and try to open them?

Look again that little L-shaped hand,
With those little dark-violet painted nails...
It's the gate to my beloved London town...
The promise of my coming back,
as soon as I can,
to the London below...

... are you fairly mad to go along those cobweb streets with me?

L for London...
I'm over the moon about this town
... and it is waiting for me.
