Zonder eerbied meer
voor de grijze goden
open mond, open hart
onschuldig rollenspel
onschuld want ik ben het
en geen dode geest
geen beklemmend rotsblok
waarin vrezen staan gebeiteld
in het hier en nu
bevindt zich heel iets anders
zelfs heel iemand anders
dan in mijn geheugen
Ik hou meer van kleuren
flitsende lichten en geld
spellen tot de horizon
dan van de woestijn
Al is het aleen om de mensen
die dit met mij delen
die de catwalk lopen
en niet om een steen.
Vergeef mij voor mijn zonden
mijn geloof aan zonden
mijn geloof dat domheid
raakt aan het rechte pad
ach vergeet het, ik
vergeef mij zelf
Sushi, fonkelende Hummer
ze draait hem in een ruk
vreemd genoeg, ze vlucht niet
voor wie ik lijk te zijn
voor wie ik blijkbaar ben
ondanks mijn inspanningen
zeg de woorden nu
van dingen die bestaan
raak de dingen aan
en kruip uit je verleden

tiger striped timbre
In the morning light
they say things are different
but I find, differently,
that there are no things
in the morning, just light
Come with me and fly
I tell to my little song
it has been enclosed in my heart
where it terrorized and hid
from the terror outside
The song now grows a yelping
strangely I no longer hear
any melody or rhythm
except in the breathing between
that sometimes sounds hoarse
As a side comment
I should like to note
that the sky is blue
that the leaves are green
and the reservoir is replenished
they say things are different

down to the river
As the moon cheers and winks
at me as I stride
the hollow sound of my footsteps
becomes fuller and fuller
At once I leave behind
the future and the past
there is here, increasingly
legal custody
Lex! proclaims a figurine
being used as a fountain
she hears me approach
and touches my face
A river flows through
gently, in the deep
I walk down the long staircase
in the ancient wall
There once was a story
told to butterflies
its moral was empty
except for a beating heart.

roast beef
Hyperborean, bald headed birds squawk
for vain recognition
In the Desert, a rainworm shrivels
in blistering regret
at least, that is how he calls the Sun.
In a forest, a Tomahawk cuts through the foliage
and makes a delightful noise
before a loud Clunk
delivers its part with verve
The lonely wolf prepares
to howl on his chosen hill
looks with bloodshot eyes
around him seeing
things unknown to thought
As sheep gather in flocks
all throughout their lives
a warmth spreads through their veins
it is all they know
The stray cat curves her back
and spits an evil sound
her tail swells, thick and fierce
what is coming next
is in the blink of an eye
for vain recognition
