Alda Merini / Marc Chagall | I do not need money / Io non ho bisogno di denaro..

I do not need money.

I have need of feelings

of words, words chosen wisely

of flowers called thoughts,

of roses called presences

of dreams inhabiting the trees,

of songs that make statues dance,

of stars that murmur to the ear of lovers.

I need poetry

this spell which burns the weight of words

that arouses emotions and gives new colors.

Alda Merini* (Milan, 21 March 1931 – Milan, 1 November 2009) Italian* writer and poet.
