At the first sign of early morning light
there is something strange and incandescent
that is disposing of the darkest night
and when it is over, suddenly spent,
...
Thunder;
blue-white energy
flashing downward sizzling,
frightens everyone of blazing
...
In the sandy desert we were silent;
where white and brown sand lies next to each other
we saw aloes and lilies growing together,
a sand-grouse or maybe another bird
...
Like a tree trunk or a piece of wood
that is being carried along
by a river or the sea
...
(After Divena Collins)
Love is much more than only chemistry
a kind of binding, feeling that comes free
...
On the highway a female traffic cop pulls me off
and with a book and pen
she trots to the window
which glides electrically into the frame.
...
A stairway wounds up to a springy height
where my body reaches high against the blue sky,
the pool's is small against my eye,
where I stand in contemplation
...
With her light purple breast that gleams
a blue jay descends to the fallow land
where she dances around in sorrow
like a welding flame that impudently trembles
...
I was called up to a military camp
and we were in tents in Parrow
and I was seconded to a special unit
on our way to De Brug
