The rain did rain

if blue again it's blue
in the corner
of the mind [the lowest
part
of the body
connected with the highest,
the eye]

if blue again it's
raining half-way
without
any consequence
for Marie
and the annoying wings [annoying things
annoy

especially
when they aren't polished
nor red nor
usual suspect] but then
birds knitting nests, trees
pushing little leaves - we
don't remember

because it's never
been lost [anyway
tomorrow we'll say : the rain
did rain, swept away, maybe
something blue
puppeteered two
or six inches long]

Another lonely soul, almost sad

because

always because

Where is de songsmid, i ask,
the paintpenseel, where is
the wrong button to push

in slow motion

because

How fragil its complexity
and furthermore and more
and more, how low

the lower lip of

Let's do Mary-go-round,
roep ik, let's take bicarbonate
and shape, share space, be

cause

It's still windy today, flatulent too

because - of course

Dativ

und tu trempes tes mains
mais surtout ton âme
dans un bain

d'eau de javel

Später

tu le fais bouillir à
nonante-huit degrés

Les extrêmes

se touchent

Seulement tes mains
blanchissent
comme neige

Drinnen

ist es kalt
