Out Of Sight Out Of Mind Poem by Hendrik Jan Marsman
Out Of Sight Out Of Mind
Rating: ★3.5
If it's someone
then it's that someone
who knocks us down
mows us down, all our grass
I cannot withstand this
annihilating image
That's why I put a stone
in a box, close the top
and so bury the silence behind its name
If it's someone
he's not here
nor is he the stone in that box
either.
