Shy ghosts in Charing Cross Road ...




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 -
