This City
August 6, 2011
This city
Is too much smoke, too much dust
Too few stars
To follow into sleep
This city
Is never alone
And always longing
Just to breathe a bit
And in this city
You can climb on a roof
Scream your anger until your lungs burst
Without getting stared at
Because this city is full
Of people who wish
They were there with you, too

life had i loved the more
had it but passed away
as quietly as the day
ebbs from the darkening star.
