Driving to The Square Tower ...

Emrah wished us well - he'd ordered the blue acqua car which took us through the October streets - 

We were the only diners in The Bodrum -

Hopper could have painted us, sipping the bitter coffee, looking out from light into darkness - 

The scented taxi took us to the Square Tower - 

I saw a wan barrista in The Garage Lounge - 

I remembered wild moments in The American Bar - 

Gaudy boys drank shots in the The Deco - 

Vaping girls gathered outside Bar 56 - 

Richly coloured leaves fell upon the pavements - 

Inside the Square Tower, words flew around the head of the waiting poet like brilliantly feathered birds -
