Shy ghosts haunted the secondhand bookshops on Charing Cross Road -
Walking towards the seething tube station I heard their voices -
I lingered amongst bibliophiles so that I might greet them -
Floor to ceiling bookcases were reefs of words -
When I turned to see my ghosts I recognised their youthful faces -
I knew their voices as my own -
