Berlin Hauptbahnhof

A forgotten knock at the door

A denied entry as the result of past trauma

A film orchestrated a murder

A Muslim woman and a Jewish Man

They fell in love in New York

They held hands as they lay in bed

They could not acknowledge the silence they both serve

They could not commit to the fray

Surrendering to realism

Getting caught in the prison of love

Gutting one’s own internal clairvoyance

Labeling each other terrorists

A caffeine infused chocolate platter

A Moroccan cat flirting at the table

A vinyl record skipping in the summer heat

A return to the scene of the crime

They fell in love in Berlin

They drenched the sheets with their sweat

They erased their memories

They committed to the moment

Surrendering to idealism

Getting caught in international waters

Gutting the commanding womb

Labeling each other mother and father

A man and a woman

They fell in love
