I can't make you understand, neither you nor anyone else,
what goes on inside me.
-Franz Kafka.
 
 
 
 
 
I walk in the city of my ancestors.
A cry greets me when I go out
and I can't get beyond it.
There is no stage for the poor
outside its streets.
I return.
I sit in the park to look at the windows
of the cars turning away my figure.
I walk in a lost city,
a city without a name
where everything is for everyone
And nothing
belongs to anyone.
