A poem about my favorite city New York, and one of its best know symbols, the Empire State Building. If cities had souls mine would be like New Yorks. By Valzhyna Mort, born in Minsk, Belarus, now living in Washington, DC. poetryfoundation.org/bio/valzhyna-mort new york, madame, is a monument to a city it is TA-DA a gigantic pike whose scales bristled up stunned and what used to be just smoke found a fire that gave it birth champagne foam melted into metal glass rivers flowing upwards and things you wont tell to a priest you reveal to a cabdriver even time is sold out when to the publics wow and shhh out of a black top hat a tailed magician is pulling new york out by the ears of skyscrapers
