could be surprising –
the waves of current, the flow of people
crashing into each other.
in fact, this city could actually be
memorable for another reason,
a forest with many pockets
words which evaporate on being spoken
meaning as flimsy as the thread
which binds me with my new friends!
sparkles on the roofs of the walls
which line this city. fireworks, fireworks,
everything porous going down the drain.
the sea behaving like a stranger.
