A narrow choice

Dark Moon and Sun

were going down, in the very same night.

I watched the stars at night

on my bicycle, but in fact, it was a horse

or the fastest spaceship around the world!

I used to visit a lot of villages nearby,

at that time.

All my bicycles took me half way,

out of reality in more

than poetry, could be.

A village, Oisterwijk, had a lot

of shops, an old classic Mill

and wide spaces of open skies.

I know, I travelled in a Morning Sound,

but I made a choice not to buy

that older painting in an old store,

close to the streets.

Someone was watching, there,

was he.

I moved forward

closer to the waters

where sun and birds

shivered in the first light.

It was not very happy, I remember,

I thought it was sad,

it could have been some sadness.
