Christmas at Berlin, Alexanderplatz

Christmas at the Alexanderplatz (Of Tanja Dückers)

One two three Punks come
towards me on the escalator
the tallest a lanky
guy with blond straggly hair
and nose ring looks at me
for a moment with his light
red-veined eyes
I love you he suddenly bawls
I love you too I shout so
airily over the shoulder
Really? I can hear just about
when I'm vanishing in the suburban train
and he downwards.
