I admire the poet who shut at the top of the tower above the Neckar
summons the Persian birds of death and eternal life
to measure with a swish of their wings the weight of current affairs.
The river beneath slides silently between the banks of red granite,
and Mister Today observes the juicy whiteness of paper on his knees.
Languages have enmeshed,
but the words still feed the imperishable flame of the spirit.
Sadness is something blue
and anxiety something grey,
but now green rules the day
of the disinterested daydreaming,
and a black cosmic tower rises in a broken soul.
