Tulips, windmills and wooden shoes

Tulips, windmills
and wooden shoes;
at daytime
this is a slowly moving picture
of poetic resonance
that inspired Rembrandt and van Gogh.

Booze, weeds,
and girls in the window;
at night
this is a sleepless city
gleaming in dark,
longing for sin.

Amsterdam, one of my favorite cities in the world.
