Each November as soon as the clocks are changed<\/p>\n
Delphinine and I climb the steep red hill and begin our search for her missing sister<\/p>\n
She vanished over fifty years ago when passing through the Panama Canal<\/p>\n
For five years we searched Central America for and visited the major cities in multiples of seven<\/p>\n
That was until one night when a visiting star told us to look upwards into the heavens<\/p>\n
And not to search during warmer months<\/p>\n
As the stars were distorted by the summer heat <\/b><\/p>\n
The days should be short and the nights long we were told<\/p>\n
We found little until by chance we discovered one of Delphinine\u2019s red red ribbons tied to a rock in the deep night sky<\/p>\n
It was faded but we were able to recognise the rose weave patterns on its frayed border<\/p>\n
Tonight we will rest as we always do on Friday\u2019s<\/p>\n
I will lock the shutters in the defenceless tower and shield the door from intruders<\/p>\n
The dawn will pass unnoticed<\/p>\n
And if Delphinine does return<\/p>\n
I have asked her to place her likeness in your red lace frame<\/p>\n
