Rainbow road?

I love how beautiful and vibrant these stairs look against the drab colors of the city around them. That font is making me picture them in a scene of a Wes Anderson film.
Some of the words translated:
love
come together
to seduce
to pine
to fall in love
sympathy
to dance
kissing hands
admirer
exuberant
to get the tinglies / goose flesh
passion
attractive
to flourish
to allow

  1. the first step of your staircase
    will be, i predict, the most painful
    to climb, though only inches from the street.
    i stand and cringe before raising an
    impossibly aching and perfectly arched
    foot, clinging to the well-worn edge -
    pine upon each slender panel of discovery
    then dance up two before stumbling upon
    the fourth, a bright blue stripe of
    sluiced rainwater washing away both fear
    and the evidence of 25 years spent,
    barefoot, in the dirt -
    i stand and stare toward the many echelons which
    still wait to quicken my heartbeat with the
    effort of a hungrily sped climb; sun splashed color
    spurs my resolve as i count the possibilities
    waiting atop each plateau of perseverance;
    the last step visible, but still a lifetime
    away.
