City Stories
"City of night,
Wrap me in your folds of shadow.
City of twilight,
shining silhouette upon a haze of blue;
City of columns that hold up the sunset;
City of rectangles, and hard-shaped threatening
masses that block out the light:
City of twilight,
Wrap me in your folds of shadow.
City of midnight,
Adorned by a full moon and flooded with electric light;
City where cats go
prowling and closed, iron-clad dust-carts go rattling through the shadows:
City of midnight,
Wrap me in your folds of shadow.
City of the dawn;
Cool, fresh-sprinkled city,
whose sharp roof
peaks are splintered against the stars;
City unbarring its tall haggard
gates in sorrow:
City of the dawn,
Wrap me in your folds of shadow."
