Away from the City

Oh, the city, getting away is my daily preoccupation.

Each time I go out from the metro station the fresh air hits me in the face like a pleasure tornado.

My feet are instinctively taking me up, to the hills, where I belong and while I leave the town behind

I start to breath deeply with infinite thirst.

Oh, the hunger for fresh air haunts me all day long, while working in an office.

I missed you non-polluted particles, I’ve missed you so.
