They say I live in a fantasy
they say I need to see my doctor
they say I am troubled
...
Het is alweer twee weken geleden
dat we elkaar schreven, verheugd
lentes wevend tot een gedicht
...
An upper floor apartment, a square
where I am safe, not to be robbed
from anything, with internet
and a sofa bed
...
Only experiences count
now that every day matters:
new activities
beauty to the full
...
When I want to know something, I call
someone from the explanation folks
Strangers are my interpreters
...
Mary was pregnant
with God, a story
can't be stronger
and I think of myself
...
We were afraid
of getting caught
in the distance the train
to Grantham, here
...
There are no guest rooms
because the land is too full
for a paradise life
...
I cry with misery, inside
I collapse, again, again
I have to fire myself
to hold on
...
Ik huil van ellende, van binnen
zak ik in elkaar, weer, weer
moet ik mezelf aanvuren
om door te zetten
...
To take care of you, help
others, perform projects of my own
undisturbed, without being troubled
...
Onder het werk praten we
...zo gaat dat
over wat er anders moet
...
In distorting mirrors and family photos
I explore the limits of who I am
in company, I let my body roll
my eyes expectantly hidden
...
I Feel My Cuts
They say I live in a fantasy
they say I need to see my doctor
they say I am troubled
.....Some of them don't like me
.....and I don't like me
.....being that girl
.....who hates to look in the mirror
.....but dresses up to catch your eye
.....who is never afraid
.....to make statements
.....to be stubborn, just
.....to be frank, longing
.....to be submissive
.....and to gain the carnal
.....pleasure of my body
.....Yet I'm drowning
.....while waiting for help -
.....it is arranged for next year
They say I lie to myself
they say I am different
than I feel, and I feel
my cuts
