Yet another city left behind. <br />And I wonder if it still exists, <br />If the city hall clock strikes midnight, <br />Towers looming up, wrapped in the mists. <br /> <br />Are the streets deserted as they were <br />When they held the echo of my steps? <br />The canals still seeking to entrance <br />With what seemed unfathomable depths? <br /> <br />Yes, it's all the same. Or so they say. <br />But I've smuggled one bit - no big deal. <br />It's that bridge behind the palace wall <br />With a once-upon-a-time-like feel.<br /><br />Julia Klimenova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/does-it-still-exist/
