There was a time we lived in those museums mother, do you remember? seeing everything from Art Nouveau to German Expressionism or Cubism There was a time we walked on Adenauerplatz beneath old Linden trees There was a time our winters were full of german gingerbread & mulled wine & our Spring spent wandering the Schlosspark There was a time we spent our summers watching swallows by the sunny Wannsee lakes & our autumns in spacious cafes & international bookshops we talked the other day again about the Russian one how ever since we left home we'd not seen so many Russian books in one place it seems the vision of  home never leaves you just waits dormant in your heart for something to remind you of it just as now that Lesser Ury print reminded me of our Berlin & days of Love Parades & blissful freedom I will not regret the journey you made us take because it meant we got to live in heaven there was a time we lived there there was a time we lived there

There was a time
There was a time we lived in those museums mother, do you remember? seeing everything from Art Nouveau to German Expressionism or Cubism There was a time we walked on Adenauerplatz beneath old Linden trees There was a time our winters were full of german gingerbread & mulled wine & our Spring spent wandering the Schlosspark There was a time we spent our summers watching swallows by the sunny Wannsee lakes & our autumns in spacious cafes & international bookshops we talked the other day again about the Russian one how ever since we left home we'd not seen so many Russian books in one place it seems the vision of  home never leaves you just waits dormant in your heart for something to remind you of it just as now that Lesser Ury print reminded me of our Berlin & days of Love Parades & blissful freedom I will not regret the journey you made us take because it meant we got to live in heaven there was a time we lived there there was a time we lived there
I miss living in Berlin.
