Berlin After The War

You are such a beautiful ruin

as if you dropped bombs on yourself.

Ruined like how Atlantis was ruined

and no one saw a difference.

 

No one bothered to look for a lost thing once so excellent.

Excellent enough to make people say “it was her time to sink.”

We’re a sabotage,

like the song I’m listening to.

Like moths listen slamming their faces against light bulbs.

So dim from standing outside for too long.

Standing and waiting.
