She stood on a city corner br in summer's first noon br blind-eyed to the sun, br arms across her chest br eyelids closed. br br Her hair was cropped br and grey and straight, br yet her face was beautiful br and still, and noble. br br As she stood br drinking in the sun, br in this place of people br rushing to appointments; br br She didn't realise she'd br saved the world, br by giving old Sol br someone to shine upon.
