Liesbeth V. Hafenrichter Poems
Nameless trees fallen along the cycle path bear their last blossom,
as if cut for a vase. But once at home bulky, almost ridiculous.
That's what you get if you want to own everything.
...
Here it was, where my father used to lite a fire
Serious, talking to himself.
We would play school,
Squatted, like girls wearing patent leathers do

The Best Poem Of Liesbeth V. Hafenrichter
Just Letting You Know I'm Unharmed
Nameless trees fallen along the cycle path bear their last blossom,
as if cut for a vase. But once at home bulky, almost ridiculous.
That's what you get if you want to own everything.
While the bombs are descending on Mariupol I show you
the progress of the seedbed by google-share. Look, it's going fast already.
Forget-me-nots are the new weeds, shallow rooting.
All those fencing screens - it shouldn't seem like everything and everyone is replaceable -
The airspace between us is still accessible, satellites do their work,
obediently, without clashing. I know, you would rather have seen it with your own eyes
I celebrate this clandestine kind of spring with cold coffee
in the flowery shelters of my imagination. How pretty normal everything can be, if you really want it.
Neighbour women I truly appreciate clean doors, and windows.
