I left Peter
Mumbling incoherent nothings
And trying to hug me
I would have loved him
But maybe another day
Instead I wandered home
In pouring rain, the night air
Warm with summer
And as Pilgrim Street
Became Northumberland
I saw not a soul adrift
In the empty town
Along Saville Row the flowers
Gave off their nocturnal scent
Intermingled
With the damp summer heat
As midnight edged towards 1
I climbed the steps
And thought of work
But for now the night moves on
In her darkened climes of summer
And I content to be with her.
