Come closer

I see you standing
in front of big city lights,

calm and confident
that demons of industry can’t reach for your soul,

and eat you up,

piece by piece.

You are not completely at ease –

You see me watching you,
you see me trying to

come closer

Just when you thought – the fight is over

another danger walks up to you
another viper slides and passes through

right to your wounds

Another dagger flashes in front of your eyes,
but I hand it over

I trust you, I ask you

to come closer
