miles away from nothingness
Think about "100,000 miles away from nothingness". It refers to the state of nothingness, that once was. Before we were, before our ancestors were. A state that lasted eons longer than the minutes of our life. Looking further, we realize that nothing' does not exist....

Letters
2017"You must trust me / that we all care. // But we had to face / certain restrictions"
For the time being
2016There are some moments / one has to accept / a stand still / for the time being. (Museum "Het Depot", Wageningen)
Walking sixty-five
2016"The day I heard / that the poet was with god / or at a similar location, / that day / I did not celebrate my birthday / in view of more urgent matters / such as my nose / running faster than my feet. // Those feet / that thought for me / all day long."
So much to explore
2015So much to explore: There is still so much / to explore beyond / the borders. // But hungarians are like danes / not allowing anyone / to enter their comfort zone. // Zeus, give me back my Europe / I want it all / to myself.
Without frame
2015Without frame In an archipelago / of shadowy pools / my feet wear off / on a road / that is not indicated. // Down to the raw / flesh and / the pain tells / there is no end / other than unexpected / destined by hazard, / bloodless, / stationary / and astir. (poem approx 2012)
Bed, bath and bread
2015Bed, bath and bread: Two-hundred years ago / still, the Dutch and many other countries / plundered large areas of our world. / Now from those plundered countries / refugees drown in the hundreds / and our politicians discuss / whether those rejected should be given / bed, bath and bread.
Protective nothingness
2015Protective nothingness: The earthern wall / demarcates the excavation / on the left side. // One wonders / what a wall does / in protecting / what's been taken away.
Going down
2015Going down: A haystack and two buildings defined as barn / waiting for a stronghand / who is able to resurrect. print available as part of limited edition
shattered
2015Shattered: Whether these are memories / or reflections, that does not matter. // When frames crumble / or even pillars tall / then both memories and reflections / will rumble and fall.
Forgotten
2015/
The sand turns red
2014If the sand turns red / it ain't out of shame / or shyness. // It is because it need be.
