Description

“THE CITY” is a vivid, atmospheric poem that captures the compressed rhythms of urban life. It begins with thousands of footfalls and crowded bodies moving in shared cadence, then shifts into fleeting encounters, small dramas, and the emotional noise of the streets. Cold towers rise like blueprints for the future, while individuals carry private burdens—symbolized by the Pillar—through fear, distrust, longing, and brief sparks of connection. The poem blends motion, architecture, and human vulnerability into a layered meditation on endurance, perception, and the quiet mercy required to set burdens down.
