Mario Wirz Poems

the wind in your dream
swells the curtains into a sail
tears asunder
all the things we have collected
...

She feeds me
wild cherries
until I rave
...

Someone has quietly placed the Eiffel Tower
in front of my window
as if it were child's play
the wonder of the world
...

In the sun
the salamander slept
on a stone
...

I'm not waiting
for the ceiling
to fall on my head
and stir up dust
...

the revelry of the roses
in the rain
is a celebration
...

Of the many
who I am
all are
unknown to me
...

Besotted
by a cloud
the pelican
dips
his quill
...

the yearning
of the foxes
sunset
above the cities
...

In order to please you
I imitate Zeus
exuberantly
I defy my age
...
