Breathing Out Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Of a good address, abuzz,
Clarke’s in London may be -
Herbed tea, macchiato coffee
Jute smelled, honey-oat, garlic
Buttered bread, atop, powdered
Cocoa raw; on an old table,
Served by old hands, parch-lipped
Smile, welcomed and a bowed adieu.
Art, a poem, jazz, and news-paper,
Birds, leaves, chill and cold;
Afternoon, a falling day, and breathing out.
