Fanny,I remember ,
you played to cello
Prenzlauer strasse,
drawing on the snow
an arpeggio of melancholy...
Berlin no longer slept
in the breath of its madness...
Fanny,your pale porcelain eyes
lost in a past still alive
where dreams sold memories of stone .
I was listening to this wall and night melody
of angels flying on the rooftrops...
Requiem for old Germany
or a new world concerto ?
The cello like a body
between your slender legs
that a light wind of freedom
discreetely uncovered ...
Fanny,the dust of time
mingled with your blond hair
like warm harvests
drawing to a close ...
It was still winter in Kreuzberg .
We've been waiting for spring,
running after hope
in the mouth of a burning crater ,
when giants took possession of the void...
Beware ! no more borders ...
Fanny, I knew ,you were only in love
with the chords of rain
and equivocal emotions .
Fleeting beauty in the ephemera .
A scorching night in Charlottenburg
a sex pistol put a safety pin
on your breast
and hung the cello in the cupboard ...
Fanny,I remember ,
you were improvising
a fugue for the passing clouds ,
25 years ago ...Tragic adagio .
Fanny,do you have a child ,
playing in the streets of berlin
or on saturne's lunatic moons ?
Our impromptu ...

Subliminal references to many classic's books and music. Nice work.
I've been trying to recover the memory of this post-wall Berlin !
Nice one
Angel somewhere under the clouds ...
A touching piece that combines sensuality, music, and the history of Berlin after the Wall. Fanny's image is incredibly vivid and seems inseparable from the city and its history. Memories tinged with melancholy. I like this poem.
Fanny's image of a Berlin of shifting elusive nuances !
Exquisite ink spilled throughout .. & very much enjoyed .. Neville
Thanks Neville .Glad to have your appreciation !
