Green dress

Green dress


It is the smallest child

of the universe.

She can’t see.


It is a light green

pair of trousers.

Small feet have been

captured by light blue shoes,

no wonder she can’t fly.


All of a sudden

in the middle of a book,

the dark dress has more

than one diamond.


It should have been

a sister, or younger child

while the bicycle drove

straight in the waters of all times.

Behind the sky

Michel Sardou – Une fille aux yeux clairs (1974)


I see, when I look

at the cover, it was the year of 1981,

one of our best summers; he wrote.


It is a dictionary, but the language

has not yet, been translated.

It is not very necessary.


In the backyard, words were counted

and I really don’t mind

if two letters will ever mean

more than three, exist.


It is just, that, no one asked me

to look in an old dictionary.

Sound by translucency

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Sound by translucency

David van Horen


First, there was a new sound,

and after that,

another drop of water.


I knew then,

all of my life,

I was in the need

of a translucent clock.


In the silence,

across nature given

by old memories,

in hands was given,

a book of seconds.


She, asked herself

in the morning, what daylight

meant in her heart, but I know,

the soul was silently lost, in Time.

Thea Beckman – Hasse Simonsdochter, pagina 322 – 323

“Ze is het liefste, pittigste vrouwtje dat ik ooit heb ontmoet.

Niet half zo slecht als sommige mensen denken.

Hij moet weg, dacht Hasse zenuwachtig.

Jawel, zei ze koud. Deze Hasse maakte haar man wijs dat hij kon

vliegen en toen viel hij dood.

Dreunend sloeg Gerrit op tafel.”


“Ze was niet veel veranderd. Ouder geworden, ernstiger,

een trek van berustend verdriet om de mond. Maar de ogen

waren nog even groot, diep en zwart, en fonkelden nog even trots.”


Photograph II : Marianne Fredriksson – Noreas saga (1983)

Turned my back

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Turned my back


Slowly, I am standing

before my windows.

I watch it all, fall down,

this Time.


Slightly, I have been

moving forward,

in all dreams and hopes.


Silently, I feel lovely,

I do not have to make

a decision, anymore.


I hear the music from far away,

continually playing around my existence!


The rhythm inside my sensitive soul

moves and I turn my back,

once, once again

before I decide,


it would All

fall down on me.

The bookstore

The bookstore

Suddenly, he was there, twice looking

at me, with a rest of flour on his lips.


I thought, I had to leave it all,

behind me, one day.

Somehow, I could not make up

my mind.


In the bookstore

of my grandparents,

there are no children playing,

no more.

They have forgotten

how to read or write.


Up high, I needed ladders,

all kind of stairs

to reach out to some excellent

qualified books.

I am trying to hold my balance.


Someone, she has been trained

if you could fall, in another story.


Someone has to be fantastic.

The second degree

The second degree


He looked back, then.

As he was following me.


The young black boy was lifted,

for more than once.


I bowed my head,

left side, a bit.


I, who do not touch,

made a new degree,

to the small black no(u)se.

I put him, back slowly.


I was the one, who started

to talk, about skin.


He smiled,

in the same way

I reflected about my coach,

the best trainer.


And after that,

he made one victory!

The last rooster

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


The last rooster


In former times,

the sky was light blue.

A rooster had one task,

and a half.


If it was a dragon,

a balloon or rabbit;

the rooster was heard

all over the Place.


From far away,

her Voice was heard,

in more than two rooms

of a kind.


The mayor, here, has bought

new fishes, but he could not

find the very same rooster… .


A difference exists, namely,

between a split second, half a second;

and one second.


The story has  been told, by people

who are darkened and brown,

not white as in my skin.


Because a rooster, has all kind of features.

Behind my office


There is a man,

behind the back,

who is not there.


There is a woman

in my office

represented by absence.


Now and then,

you see her walking

over here and there.


Silently, she goes, again

as if, she was never

supposed to be,


behind her own office.

The Zoo

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


The Zoo


In the old context,

the circumstances are

my freedom, of a distant mind.


I saw butterflies

across, along and between

natural trees, kept in an artificial

environment, with a bar for drinks!


In the Zoo,

behind glass of glasses,

spiders, insects and specific animals,

poison frogs or salamanders

are alive by my light.


I see, I saw

you all in the Zoo.

A silent painter


My father made one photograph

of my life and none of your pictures.

He never had the need to prove it,

that’s what his family already, not yet,

had wisely known.


The colour has not been seen.

The Religion of The Blue Circle

Let's talk about life.
Let's talk about love.
Let's write about religion.
And keep quiet in silent silence.
