THREE CASA PANTROVÀ NUDES

NUDE 1. STONY

You naked, leaning against your arm
rest on the stony bank in my
Casa Pantrovà garden
Scents-embraced
Winds-frequented
Longed-for by the sky

You nude
ample bosom
ever call to your stony company

And when I lie down on the opposite side
tet à tet with you,
you seem to get a bit warmed
and cover yourself with a shy

(Carona, Tuesday, 26. May 1998)

CARONA, TICINO, SWITZERLAND
CASA PANTROVÀ, Art-Foundation of
Lise Tetzner-Klaber (1894-1963) & Kurt Kläber (1897-1959)

Bibliotheca wherein, as a (3 months) writer-in-residence, I am completing my Sarajevo Rose / War Rhymes

A beautiful estate with the furniture from Crusades' era and huge library shearing with a concert piano and me myself a buzzing peace.

A luminous space in which my Sarajevo Rose / War rhymes were emerging from the dark war experience, hidden within me! What a purification!

Honoured by "Pro Helvetia" with three months stay as a guest, I treasured an unforgettable and lasting memory.

My poetic - prose record of the Bosnian war, "Sarajevo Rose / War Rhymes", was cradled in the earhly Heaven.

Switzerland. Carona. Pantrova. Lugano lake from my windows …

From May to August 1998 there paraded around me & equally within me, the most beautiful sensations of Paul Klee's kind; to mention only my favourite's.

In that House of Artists, I had been, after Otto Bihalji Merina, the second and the last artist from the former Yugoslavia honored with having Casa Pantrovà as a truly "Bread House", before it became an estate for renting on a commercial basis. I do not know what Kläbers would say, the plate on whose common grave within the house garden still testifies the holy will.
