Whispers in the wind Ancient mortar breathes
Where the city's soul lives
Beneath brick rhymes of tears
Echoes of a past
Long shadows drape the macadam
Alabaster walls
Whispers fade in zephyr's gale
Brick and zephyr sway
Dusk and dawn's asymmetry A melancholy waltz
Disappearing city stages
Night's onyx veil descends
Cobblestones worn by time Forgotten stories unfold
In crumbling brickwork's crime
Neon zephyrs whirl
Luminous moth's dance ground Whispers flicker, rise
Echoes of a city's sigh
Beneath the granite skin
Emotions grow like ivy
Waiting for the tide
To lift the velvet shrouds
Brick and zephyr sway
Dusk and dawn's asymmetry A melancholy waltz
Disappearing city stages
Transient beauty reigns Momentary, escaping
New eras taking hold
Yet nostalgia stays
Neon pulsars blaze
Midnight skies a fiery haze
Zephyrs carry memories
Into a new day's shade
Silken darkness stays
Cinderblock heartbeats fade
Whispers merge with wind
As the city's veil is made
