So afraid was I that the blue Poem by Elly de Waard

So afraid was I that the blue



So afraid was I that the blue
would drift past
the sun, and the interminable
gloomy forests

over which the clouds
dissolve in shadow
would reinforce
me in my black biliousness -

but now and then visible
sun, I ask you straight out:
what is my interminable
somberness all about?

July and intolerably autumnal
Darkness submerges our days
Duisternis dompelt onze dagen
Juli en onverdraaglijk herfstig
MONTPELLIER
