Alice Evans is a Lancaster-based writer, filmmaker, and visual artist exploring perception, memory, and place through poetry, film, performance, and fine art. Drawing on lived experience of neurodivergence, her work is lyrical, sensorial, and often fragmentary, spanning environmental precarity, solitude, and the body.
This poem reflects on a deep connection between two individuals whose paths eventually diverge. It explores themes of growth, transformation, and the quiet beauty of shared experience, even after separation. The tone is tender and reflective, honouring a bond that shaped both lives and continues to resonate, even from afar.
