Košice - Jozef Urban

City of autumn and puddles and smoke
City of statues
To whom we blew kisses
In the cold winters
City of the redheaded Madonna's
Mysterious beauty
A night walkers' city
Robbed of the heat of a family radiator
And yet happy
City of searching and shelter
The city of my first alcohol and cigarette
And the first girl's breasts
A city of morbid poems
Whirled around unrecognized geniuses
City of televisions and quarrels
And everything I really loved
Return to the city with stubble on chin
City of everything
That was worth something
