Empire State Building

Purple, the sunset sky
this summer afternoon
from the Empire State Building.

The dynamic geometry of the city
opens
in front of me
slowly.

I can feel the streets throb with life
- far
almost unreachable -
while
innumerable lights
switch on
little by little
in the  world theatre.
