Sister Stockholm

There are remnants

Of a sweetness,

You once couldn't hide

Behind those slate-grey iris walls,

Moats of small-talk

And the razor-sharp constantina wire

Of righteousness

Sister stockholm, as always,

The blue bleeds through

Despite the depth

Of those wounds

That walled-off your soul

You built them,

One insulting brick at a time

Bolstering them,

With survival-strength mortar

Mixed all alone...

Emulating those souls

You never could touch

Anger, and toughness

They served you well

Back in East Berlin,

No one could see your pain,

If they couldn't get in

Neither, could you feel

Sunshine on your face

Sister Stockholm,

Let them crumble....

Crush, fall and tumble,

Down

After all, ain't it time,

To find your way home again?
