Melk Abbey's Baroque Garden PavilionCoffee in Paradise

A Glass of Grüner Veltliner
Somehow fitting, I was not sure
wether I was dead drunk or if
I had gone to heaven


After a leisurely stroll through Melk Abbey's
Baroque "Garden of Paradise"


I had walked up the steps and
entered the garden pavilion


and felt immediately
transported to a realm of dreams


Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté *


Le monde s’endort
Dans une chaude lumière *


You see, I was so enchanted, it was as if
my thoughts created an autopoietic language


that expressed itself
in cinematic poetry
