I tell him, adding, "I know who you are". He grasps my hand and we shake.
He holds it - then pulls me towards him, into a hug - "it's good to meet
you, Luke". I tell him it's good to see him as I missed him first time
round, as I was small then.

I smell the drink, and sense the medication. It's evident that he's quite
unwell. For an instant I instinctively see myself back at the door of the
nightshelter, with Edwards as a hopeful old favourite on the step.

I tell him I bring regards from my mate in Latvia, and his mate, who are big
fans and wanted to come but couldn't find the time or money. He nods
slowly, thoughtfully, perhaps a touch bewildered or searching for a word -
mouth still agape.

A bit of small talk - he seems keen to cling onto it, expresses a politeness
leaning into eagerness to please.

I then tell him it's especially good to see him tonight, as he's one of the
few people who've written words that I can't read without being
overwhelmed - "and that's really important to have in life". I see him
buckle slightly, and his eyes well up. He reaches for my hand again and
pulls me into a committed embrace, thanking me as he holds me against his
crap blue quilted jacket.

man gan vairāk viņi izklausās pēc AHREFN.

tagad redzu, ka tur trīs grupas, un pirmā noteikti ir ANHREFN, tāpāt kā mēs labi zinām, kas ir pēdējā...

ANHREFN skaitās Velsas The Clash, kas arī ir mazliet pārspīlēti.
