I enjoyed most of the books of the Seven Sisters, The books are entertaining and they gave me an idea of a life somewhere else and in a different time. The last book was disappointing.

Taking you back to 1997 introducing Xaviera Hollander

She invited me for a night out. First, drink on the Rembrandtplein, then dance in some underground pub. At least, that's what I thought, but Xie had other plans.

Waardevolle film. Ga dit zien. #movie #film

Vraag

Hoe is dat zo gekomen
Van altijd blijven slapen
Tot nooit meer willen zien?

Judith Herzberg

Conversation in Isolation (2)
Harryette Mullen

Stretched between two poles,
clothesline outside my window,
a robin’s rest stop.

Lemons fallen on
the sidewalk to be rescued
for my potpourri.

No one and nothing
touches me but this blue wind
with cool caresses.

Conversation in Isolation (1)

Harryette Mullen

Neighbors nail the planks
dividing their yard from mine.
Our durable fence.

I walk half a block
before realizing I’ve
forgotten my mask.

One ant following
another, trusting we all
are going somewhere.

(had to divide this poem, part 2 will follow)

For my English followers and those who speak English:

’Twas the new moon!
Since then I waited—
And lo! to-night!
[I have my reward!]

Matsuo Bashō

Er is ook een versie die zo eindigt:

Dan antwoordt zij, terwijl zij langzaamaan

druppelend water op de koffie giet

en zich de geur verbreidt: een nieuw bruiloftslied.

M.Nijhoff

Impasse III

Juist vangt de fluitketel te fluiten aan,

haar hullend in een wolk die opwaarts schiet

naar de glycine door het tuimelraam.

Dan antwoordt zij, terwijl zij langzaamaan

druppelend water op de koffie giet

en zich de geur verbreidt: ik weet het niet.

M. Nijhoff

Impasse II

Maar nu, haar bezig ziend in haar bedrijf,

en de kans hebbend die ik hebben wou

dat zij onvoorbereid antwoorden zou,

vroeg ik: waarover wil je dat ik schrijf?

(M.Nijhoff)

Impasse I

Wij stonden in de keuken, zij en ik.
Ik dacht al dagen lang: vraag het vandaag.
Maar omdat ik mij schaamde voor mijn vraag
wachtte ik het onbewaakte ogenblik.

(een gedicht van Martinus Nijhoff in vier delen omdat het geheel niet past)

Aan al mijn nieuwe volgers: Welkom.
To all my new followers: Welcome.
Waarover wil je dat ik schrijf?
What would you like me to write about?

Krijg ik net een telefoontje van een dierbare vriendin dat ze op haar 82e verjaardag (over zes maanden) eruit stapt. Daarna gaat ze doodleuk over op ditjes en datjes. Helemaal geen zin in.

Done. Love it.

Day One

Ik wacht. Nog een paar maanden en dan gezellig met andere ouden van dagen op de bank.

Just started Bluesky. Is it fun?
