I found the city beautifulwith you though- without you I lostit lost the city and was lost in it.I felt the streets slip through my fingers and the silken threads 
of telephone wire, web-slenderfeeling white with electricity.smooth sharp and violently contained  
The shade of your eyes was like a shade over my eyes, like sunglasses that are too cheap and shading greys and blues can make your day seem sad.I once had a pair, so russet tinted that the world was glorious,the sky sprang into a thousand coloursand I called out loud at sunsets that no one else could see.

I found the city beautiful
with you though
- without you I lost
it lost the city and was lost in it.
I felt the streets slip through my fingers and the silken threads 

of telephone wire, web-slender
feeling white with electricity.
smooth sharp and violently contained 

The shade of your eyes was like a shade over my eyes,
like sunglasses that are too cheap
and shading greys and blues can make your day seem sad.

I once had a pair, so russet tinted that the world was glorious,
the sky sprang into a thousand colours
and I called out loud at sunsets that no one else could see.
