MODERN WORKS 2020
by edenbray
. . .
BUDAPEST .. .
.
In walking of your sunny streets
I see your past is Prussian bled
And in your markets the abundance of paprika
parcelled orange-red
For now we amble thoughtfully
as though the Danube’s greyish blue
Refuses now to conjure illustrations
brave Buda’ has alone lived through
.
A tale telt’ of twin cities and the blood
that runs betwixt the two, we view
When the Magyars paid full bounty
for their change of heart to prove
That honest endeavour of their wartime choosing
offers not regret at losing
Except those citizens of Isaac’s birth
be left themselves to float the river bruising
.
And so, we know in full part the governments procedure
in consequence of the union
Buda’ a champion of the people wed a prince
as full of zest, the fair and noble Pest’
Whose joining pledged the best of bridges
parks and awnings would greet the morning
The lost position made of once fair Royal Budapest
adorned in purple with golden braid
.
At the time of our arrival we saw signs of peoples honest toil
their patience in survival
Of opulence, decadence, royal scorn
where prince’s born, folks allegiances were torn
Much change affects us all, fair Buda-pest has often heard
answered one too many calls
We found there now a younger tribe
so dressed in black, a pack, attended by a vision
.
Within this grace of indecision
cultures meet in apprehension, the river flows through
A nation forced to start again, scars hardly cleft of pain
mid brave Pest’s blackened fires
History cascaded, a furnace of desire since Atilla of the Hun
it is time Budi’ had some fun
We waltzed the Blue Danube beneath the stars
midst a whirl of newborn entrepreneurs
.
Our ship of dreams nighttime cruiser, passed
beneath the Bridge of Chains, lights aflame
Drifting at its widest part so well situated
this city deserves its youth to begin ingratiated
Fireworks on its hills – cakes, clusters, kamuro
roman candle, spyder, chrysanthemum and fish
Crossroad to the east, gateway from the west
a flower printed skirt, a buttoned tunic vest
.. .

My Budapest Boots – sad boots and shoes at the quayside memorial
. .. be left themselves to float the river bruising ..
