Strongly relative

Strongly relative


I thought, it was

for a lifetime.

You see it, in that way.


On the other hand, it lasts

longer than one time.

More than one life of lives.


It is in the way

I do not speak or talk

by my way of language.


I did not learn, to look

at relativity as relative

because in the End,


it is not All

that important.

Stronger than ever

[image error]


Photograph I : Gandalf, J.R.R. Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings


Stronger than ever


I rise and have risen

higher than any body temperature

across the human race.


I stand and look

outside and inside

stronger than ever, forever!


I feel, the right

very right idea

has been, was served.


Stronger than ever, I show

a new soul, high lights

in air of wind by hairs!


They are gone.

My one tackle

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


My one tackle


I describe, a tackle

after another tackle.

I write down, one tackle

after the other one.


It is like running in time.

Two weeks, back, all of a sudden

in a couple of hours.


And, do not forget, I passed

some years, just some years

and then I have to restore it All,

in present tense.


It goes together, the body and mind,

as long as I listen carefully.


It was a testimony

because words were written

in one emotion that lasts.

Shiny silver body

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans, Tilburg, the Netherlands


Shiny silver body


I, who do not

I, who does not

take a seat, nowhere.


I, who refuses to stand

to speak or tell, a dark truth

of wisdom and knowledge.


She, who does not feel

refuses to see any acceptance

touches no hands, no souls.


A light is,

there is a light;

do not look, or whisper.


It is silver,

it shines from within a depth

you can’t beat it by the best letter.

Two of us

[image error]

Two of us


It would be the third time, wouldn’t it.


I had to save a farmer, more than once.

Outside, in a foreign country, you often learn

more than you can imagine.

Two volunteers, while the other ones

went back to Holland.

August and September, after June and July.


We had no time, to do the dishes.

The table was continually covered

with our food while a thousand mice

where sheltered for our daily bread

all the time.


He gave me a driver’s license, anyway.

You should have seen it
, any way.

It took him 15 minutes, that would be enough.


That day, late in the afternoon,

Annemarie, also from Noviomagum, and I

were milking cows in one of his fields.

We were tired, we noticed.

The Sun was going down, but we did our job

after a lot of trouble.


Then, on the way back, some French car

came in front of us. Annemarie lost control.

We got in the lost waters, almost.


I said, she had to keep on breathing

because she had become very white.

Keep on calm, I would get some help.


Then, it was all, up to me.

The stars were covering me in a sky

above me, and it was the best feeling,

I can have.

Sometimes, I ran and then

I walked slowly but certainly not

losing time. I knew, who was waiting.


I reached the village, got in the house

of his brother Joseph and found his wife

in the kitchen by a small light.


I thought, for a moment, it was Tonda

or Juro, Merten, not Lyschko, or Michal.

It was not a Fata Morgana but it was Petra.

She stumbled but did not tumble. I explained

the whole story and what I expected.


As soon as possible, all the men

of the village were called by one of the telephones

we had out of there. It would be alright, after All!


I waited, till Annemarie was safe, back Home.

The men, I guess five or six had a real great

and big job before they all came back.

The milk was spoilt but the water had multiplied.


I reached the place, where I slept these days.

It was after midnight, I could hear the owl

flying above the old, green and silver fields.


It is hard, to understand but when I had

to return to the Netherlands, Isidore made sure

I could drive with his sister, back home.

I had a great meal and all kinds of little presents.

He played his favourite music all night long.

Some sadness came over him, I noticed, silently.


It was good, to see all the green trees

when I got back in my country where I lived.

Time goes fast

Time goes fast


It was not Speedy Gonzalez. No.

Someone else.


Time flies. When you’re having, fun.

Especially me.

Two hours. And a half.

Two weeks. What does it all matter.

I have to be in Time.


Nothing to be ashamed, of.

My nowhere land

[image error]


Photograph I : Tilburg, Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


My nowhere land


I was sixteen years.

I never lost my newspapers.


Then, I found you.

I tried to show you,

my land and country.


You did not seem to be afraid;

you did not appear to be scared as Hell.

No. Not at all. Dark sweat and no entrance.


You see, you have to be familiar

with, within one white rule.


I am able to draw a new line, to change nowhere

in somewhere because you’ll never know, some day.

A dark shade

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


A dark shade


Someone is over there.

She sits nearby a camp-fire. One campfire.


It is not silent, there, somehow

she knows, but no one, nobody

is having a real good Time.


Music distracts all the way

but to choke silently could

be wise.


Therefore, she runs, really

yes, she’s in a hurry now

very much, suddenly, no time

to waste!


Down the hill,

in the village she runs as

fast as I can write it here!

Running and running, sharp as can be,

enters the House. One confirmation.

It would be the Second time.


At first, she wakes the, the boss

and his friend André.

André with the lost feet.


Then, she opens all windows

and sooner, the later takes

sand in her hands, outside the House.

The fire died, that night.


And silently, she is here now,

a dark shade around her.


It is the brightest whitest light

to be alive.

The foolish mother

[image error]

The foolish mother


I’ve seen it,

how babies are loved.

It is a condition, not by the heart

but old minds.


I see, it in a psychological way,

not to break with traditions

in order that it was, all (not) meant, to be.

What about respect?


Lines can be broken

by stubborn rationality,

if the depth of the brains

has one challenge to overcome.

Peaches and blossoms

[image error]

Peaches and blossoms


Blossoms are late, this year.

Before it all, started, nothing happened.


To understanding, to knowing

is have a real good notice.

One culture.


Blossoms are symbolic,

all kind(s) of ways.

It depends.


Do not ask me, why I am

so serious. Don’t.

Now and then, I am smiling.

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.
