A prostitute in
London, 1870 – 
accompanied by
an assistant
loyal to her
as a dog.
She and he
just came to me 
as if I were a
log in which 
they might
write something 
to record that
they were here.
I wonder how
I know that she’s 
a prostitute
exactly from that year.
I’ll take my
glass of water, raise 
a toast to
her and her amanuensis. 
Nothing lonelier than ghosts..
