Mimesis

My daughter wouldn’t hurt a spider
That had nested
Between her bicycle handles
For two weeks
She waited
Until it left of its own accord

If you tear down the web I said
It will simply know
This isn’t a place to call home
And you’d get to go biking

She said that’s how others
Become refugees isn’t it ?

Belgisch bier

Zeg wat wilde gij voor bier,
Sanctus, Duvel, Tempelier,
Gildenbier of Afflighem
of Jack-op uit Wolvertem?
Speciale Aerts misschien
of een Breendonk’s Vitamien?
Rochefort of Kriek Lambic,
Palten, Koninck, Liefmans Kriek?

[...]

Extra-Moortgat of Orval,
Pieter Pauwels of Christal?
Hoegaards Wit bier of Lamot,
Rodenbach of Tongerlo,
Chevalier of Ide Pils?
Vriend, ik heb er voor elk wat wils.

[Willem Wilmink]

She said she didn’t mean it, and I never said she did,
she said she wanted matches and she just took off the lid

What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired

I don't mean I want to sleep.
I mean I want to disappear for a while.
To be rain on a stranger's roof.
To be smoke rising from someone else's fire.
I don’t want to die.
But I do want to rest in a way
the world has never allowed me.
I don’t want comfort.
I want quiet.
I want the mercy of being unseen
without being unloved.

[K.E. Sermonté]
