Taste: sweet potato shepherd's pie Sight: ducks, geese, herons, pigeons, river otter with a tail like a stick; kite boarding; a bunny at the end of the day Sound: Where was the birdsong loudest in Tiergarten, on Petřín hill or Clara Zetkin Park? Smell: popcorn and waffle cones Touch:  growing closeness, intimacy, holding hands on a long walk; just bouncing along Extra: magicians, white birds and business; a translation of Hendrik Marsman's 1922 poem Berlijn (on the side of the Dutch embassy): The morning is a stained dress/a dog-eared page/a stain/ the city/a woman with makeup half-off/but startling she rears into the sky/like a blue horse by Marc in a harness of air/Berlin/the sun is yellow Grateful for: poetry
