The city begins
where I end sun
leaking into Athens
day, a second chance
Greece wakes even
after they've named
her dead they call
what we know
endurance
as survival
a virtue
I napped as they did
in the ancient city
saw you behind my
eyes the phoenix
stubborn and impossible
to die as do you
remain they call
what we know
endurance
as survival
a virtue
