evolution that our narrator has, and the story is told through his trips. As he goes to different cities, his mental health, his perception of life and his concerns, change. We all associate places with memories or feelings. The narrator tells his story through the cities he has been in. This poem is an emotional\/geographical trip. Each three last lines of each paragraph is written in the language spoken in the city that the narrator talks about (Catalan in Barcelona, French in Paris, Italian in Firenze, Portuguese in Lisbon, Spanish in Granada and English in Newcastle), so the reader has a superior immersion in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-secondary-bg-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-secondary-bg-color-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marc Borillo is an aspiring Spanish writer from Barcelona.
