Mozart In Love
Stanzi-Marini, you're alone,
pregnant again, swollen
like a pomegranate
while my days are spent
surrounded by empty praises
--too often my only payment.
I would trade the luxury
of these salons in a second
for the dusty streets
of Vienna.
Letters are not enough...
I long for you to send kisses
flying like glossy starlings
my way.
I would wait all night
for a wild fluttering of wings
to descend into my room,
my shutters thrown open.
Mozart in Love

Re: Mozart in Love
It’s based on a letter by Mozart, especially the close.

Re: Mozart in Love
Here’s part of Mozart’s delightful letter:
PS. — while I was writing the last page, tear after tear fell on the paper. But I must cheer up — catch — An astonishing number of kisses are flying about — The deuce! — I see a whole crowd of them. Ha! Ha!… I have just caught three — They are delicious… I kiss you millions of times.
