Ganton Street Soho.
At a café called Sacred:
Cloud-splodged blue sky crossed

By pink, white lightbulbs,
Old facades of painted brick.
The dog is panting

On a pavement stained
With smudges of the unknown,
High sun casts shadows –

This poet’s waiting:
On the walkways footfalls pass
Shut shops, tourists snap.
