peace street helsinki

Robert Harper

Angels in the architecture, spinning in infinity. Don't look at your toes or so the song goes. You have to look up to see the turrets and wrought iron balconies. The art deco decoration at the rooftops.

I want to stand on that single one person balcony and smoke a cigar at sunset, with a glass of brandy warming in my hand, and perhaps recite a speech from Romeo and Juliet. I want to fight a duel with rapiers on the lower broader balcony. I want to rescue a Nordic maid from that turreted tower. I want to dance a waltz in a room with five windows overlooking the sea.

I want to live on Rauhankatu.
