Hello city photography lovers on #photofeed!

I tell you that today I tried, in vain, to show you something beautiful about my city as a response to this new edition of the contest that @photofeed is offering us. But I didn't make it. I don't know if it's because of my mood these past few weeks or simply because my city is truly falling apart...

So, letting myself go, I took these photographs, which I hope you enjoy, along with a poem that also emerged from the photos themselves. Let me know what you think.

To everyone, a hug of light!

I can't escape from the city.
Its walls
are the fracture that doesn't erase your footprints,
that doesn't erase your face in the diagonals,
where the cables
seek to hang from the clouds screaming at my silence,
unable to stop myself from crying
when I hang from them
and your face appears mutilating my chest
where you hurt,
just as the city hurts
when I walk
and can't find you.

_{Have you thought about helping others?
