The left glove


In all towns, villages and eyes of people,

I did not see, a minute.

While, I’ve walked a lot of streets,

one heart always touched, me solemnly … .


In the air, of dark nights, a star fell upon my head,

in between the oldest hairs  of the human race.


I walked, in this family, we had a quarrel

but the tower stands, as never before …


In the end, of my evening, whenever

I looked at my window outside the house,

Home was a narrow corridor..


I am glad, I never gave you a hand.

Evert Hartman – Het onzichtbare licht,

Hoofdstuk 6, pagina 37

“Een kwartier later liet ze zich van haar bed glijden,

liep naar het raam en keek uit over het wijde land: 

de bomenrij langs de straatweg, de huizen van het dorp rechts

en de zilveren glinstering van de Koetenplas links. Ze voelde zich

wat rustiger, maar ze hoefde niet in de spiegel te kijken om te weten

hoe ze eruit zag: een smal, behuild gezicht met roodomrande ogen.”

The Religion of The Blue Circle

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