Little Chinatown

Red lanterns sway between brass trees
Wood clicks more ways over shop doorways

Metal stairs leading upwards mentioned
Are paved with the best of my intentions

Track listing and watching passers by
From a restaurant with only two working lights

Desperate growl and a cat’s meow
Left to wander once kicked out

Set adrift in a sea of strangers
Not an eye to the lowest change us

Carousel of coloured lights
Send up the nighttime rooftop kites

From below;
Hungry and in awe

I find myself scaled down
Nomadic in Little Chinatown
