November fog
in the crowd an old friend
without a name

Ah yes, it could be read both literally and also that the person is in a bit of a foggy state of mind. I think of the millions of faces I have across over the decades, and so many blur, including former friends.

Beautiful and with such depth. I love the duality of this verse, too. Like Alan and Marion, I can certainly connect with the personal forgetting.
