even when they’re empty. Their voices

come from far away, apologising to the face,

asking it what the matter is, what it finds

so funny, what it thinks they’ve done to it.

They suppose it’s Alice they’re addressing

but it’s just her cast-off face,

no more aware of its own motion

than the anorak a smaller Alice

let fly off a pier, the purple anorak

the wind filled out for long enough

to make someone mistake it for a child

and swim out to her rescue. Alice remembers

how she looked down from the pier

to watch the nice man fetch her anorak.
