## The Telescope And The Bonfire

He picked up his long wooden telescope and looked at the television through it.
He thought he could see his father, but his father had disowned him years ago, so he went outside.
It was cold and the stars shone slightly.
A shooting star flew from one horizon to the other and landed on a small vicarage.
He looked at the vicarage through his long wooden telescope
and saw young children walking out of a smoky bonfire,
each carrying a handful of salt, and placing it in a pile on the grass.
A strange looking man with peculiar hair suddenly appeared
playing a tune on an ancient magdrankricketytube.
He danced a long forgotten dance, leading the children to the heathery cliffs by the sea.
