A City

A city that never sleeps.

A city where the pavement walks with you.

A city where time passes too fast
and days slip away with the river.

A city that promises everything.

A city that gives anonymity
but takes it away as well.

A city with an aggravated beauty.

A city with suffocating filth
but everlasting amazement.

A city where one can lose oneself
in history and not breath for an age.

A city named Berlin.
