when marlyse was in Rome by Cecily Walti

Switzerland

Once in rome
only lived at night
rust red roofs
the orange fringing facades
the lush green of the poplars

we were in fast cars
Vilas
under bridges
between dunes by the sea

Morning mist
Rome rubbed pastels in my eyes
when I sank back into my bed with the call of the pigeons at dawn
Einmal in Rom
nur nachts gelebt
rostrote Dächer
die orangefarbenen Fassaden
das satte Grün der Pappeln

Wir waren in schnellen Autos
Vilas
unter Brücken
zwischen den Dünen am Meer

Morgennebel
Rom rieb mir Pastellfarben in die Augen
als ich mit dem Ruf der Tauben im Morgengrauen zurück in mein Bett sank

About Cecily Walti

I am a 25 year old visual artist and a passionate globetrotter. I am interested in how societies, everyday cultures and other realities of life feel like. My ears collect stories, my eyes collect colors and structures and my hands bring my impressions to paper or carpets.

Meine Ohren sammeln Geschichten, meine Augen sammeln Farben und Strukturen und meine Hände bringen meine Eindrücke zu Papier oder auf Teppiche.

I am so happy to find this shop. Carpets are good quality, service is perfect! I have purchased several rugs but definitely not the last time.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
