ELSA WIEZELL
---------------
ALSO THE SKY

I would like a tree
in order to fall suddenly
like a bird at your back
in the roof of solitude.

Let a green silence surround us
let the insects dance.
I would like a tree
as a symbol for a rendezvous.

Let them see
the shadow with the rain.
(Furtive lightning
in an uninhabited interior.)

I would like a tree
encrusted perennial roof
that detains the storm
and contemplates us disconcertedly.

I would like a tree
for a rendezvous.
