ich bin berlin

so many new dead ends

as you stood there growling
back turned
unmoveable unreachable untouchable

you cut me off

from myself

as you slashed your concrete way
through my heart

silence

you took my victory arch from me
my sceptred chariot
galloping into the sunrise

outrage fire outrage

so many failed attempts
to get over
the borderline

drenched in blood
at the foot of the pitiless
wall of unreason

silence

years crawled past
freedom kissed like an oxygen mask
the shackle slipped off

a heart repaired

untroubled

empty
