Notes About The Poem

KIRCHNER https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street,_Berlin_(Kirchner)

Yesterday Buried In Today

kitsch
               crowded
               streets
fast
flowing
               feathers
               and
pointed
feet
              jagged

              distinctive

              unique

appearance of
things-

a new
light


a cityscape
view

life in filtered
hue

emotions scurrying
     hurrying
so inexpressible

in the challenge of everyday

   so vivid the an uncontrolled inner drive

a message beyond  memory
the unstated
          void
distilling
          the hidden essence
        yesterday’s
 buried in today

The glamour and the danger of his modern Berlin where just about everything's for sale. I'd never heard of an ekphrasis before I joined this workshop that is PS. I really like the poem and style.
