17 oktober 2021

feel the gentle rain
road ahead and all of life
might be slippery

16 oktober 2021

all you left behind
worries of your home countries
lay them down in earth

15 oktober 2021

street lights are melting
bright icicles touch fjord’s floor
under tromsdalen

14 oktober 2021

at the city docks
where the writing on the wall
echoes from the past

13 oktober 2021

up in the mountains
sunlight touches the first snow
opens up cold skin

12 oktober 2021

the fog is lifting
worlds decay gradually
once this wasn’t here

11 oktober 2021

here’s the sound of early waves
here’s the cottage dressed in red paint
the landing near mountains covered in non-snow
so confused, yet embraced by arms of cloud
so safe, lost and back home
simultaneously

10 oktober 2021

sunday in tromsø
the joy of wet asphalt and
first pedestrians

9 oktober 2021

blue harstad morning
small curtains of heavy rain
float across the sea

8 oktober 2021

on a chilly quay
making very long journeys
oft means sitting still

7 oktober 2021

on prinsens gate
ships drumming in the distance
sail back to silence

6 oktober 2021

bodø sentrum
herfst is bijna uitgewaaid
poolwetten gelden

5 oktober 2021

near arctic circle
mountains slowly shed their clothes
treeline is ebbing

4 oktober 2021

at brattorkaia
water washes away sun
then sun the water

3 oktober 2021

(besloten)

nidelva river
autumn leaves whirling on wind
a whiff of old wood

2 oktober 2021

nidorasdomen
early morning light falls on
tombs of ancient kings

1 oktober 2021

(reisdag)

a million trees
and as many tons of rock
how large is the earth

30 september 2021

between the ruins
on medieval pilgrim’s road
shadows walk along

29 september 2021

in frognerparken
mass of bodies reaching for
their heaven of choice

28 september 2021

(gamle aker kirke)

over the old town
high on an autumn green hill
the eldest keeps watch

27 september 2021

a faraway fjord
feasting on human buildings
marks passage of time

26 september 2021

on a walking path
full of possibilities
day before leaving

25 september 2021

(zeespiegel)

a day at the beach
sand absorbing salt water
takes the sky as well

24 september 2021

ash grey sun rises
as in a forest fire
a tree is glowing

23 september 2021

between glass towers
where one skyline sharply cuts
into the other

22 september 2021

friendly explosion
a tree shaped like fireworks
bursting with bird song

21 september 2021

a scent of wet leaves
my feet still stand in the woods
the gate is open

20 september 2021

near city center
a short stony lane with trees
embraces the sky

19 september 2021

early in the park
shadows of entertainment
cover the morning

18 september 2021

cultural desert
desolate grassy plains in
a place once called home

17 september 2021

the drums fell silent
look like a distant skyline
where i’d like to be

16 september 2021

medieval arches
still warm on a summer night
sunlight set in stone

15 september 2021

nevel na regen
mijn voeten staan op het pad
het kan nog ver zijn

14 september 2021

on darkening pond
fleeing waterfowl draws a
wake of shooting stars

13 september 2021

when you must move on
wooden bridge becomes a gate
to dissappear through

12 september 2021

half hidden between trees a woman walks her dog, barely able to keep the leash. The weather is clammy, warm and without wind. A homeless man starts drinking, afternoon might start anytime now.

on sunday morning
when light falls through the tree tops
grass becomes like moss

11 september 2021

the streets are silent
this very old cathedral
is still fighting time

10 september 2021

the mirror image
of a path carved through grass and
rows of broken glass

9 september 2021

voices from the past
ring through ancient cathedrals
they wil meet again

8 september 2021

true city center
a steel and glass stage tower
mirrors break of day

7 september 2021

a sidewalk cafe
abandoned, but yesterday
still hangs in the air

6 september 2021

across the canal
brick walls and water ripples
staring back at me

5 september 2021

the canals are fjords
in which trees cast long shadows
down dizzying heights

4 september 2021

singing the office
light as a feather healing
daybreak till midnight

3 september 2021

current main suspect
passes every night and day
the moon makes us (c)old

2 september 2021

up in branches and
meteorological
the colouring starts

1 september 2021

like a lost trifle
someone unknown dredged the whole
canal for her name

31 augustus 2021

one misty morning
the night on the window drew
a river landscape

30 augustus 2021

through storm and weather
a bundle of tomatoes
digested by time

29 augustus 2021

long after midnight
like the first memory of
silence and shadow

28 augustus 2021

shade of tiny plants
cast on a wooden surface
mirroring music

27 augustus 2021

early, water’s edge
fifty-two degrees up north
short bout of blåtid

26 augustus 2021

city turns silent
slowly scratching airplane stripes
the moon caught fire

25 augustus 2021

all life comes in waves
a new dahlia blooming
here on an outbreath

24 augustus 2021

a broken light beam
spectrum on the wall predicts
colours of the day

23 augustus 2021

nearly afternoon
large tropical leaves resting
in each other’s shade

22 augustus 2021

tiles in a garden
the pure perfect joy of a
rainy summer day

21 augustus 2021

on august meadows
the horizon softened by
tender morning haze

20 augustus 2021

stay indoors tonight
listen very quietly:
potted plants hanging

19 augustus 2021

‘round about midnight
tiny shade on balcony
hunting moths and bats

18 augustus 2021

in a leafless tree
and a glowing street lantern
winter starts early

17 augustus 2021

on a summer’s day
the morning still picking a
fitting shade of blue

16 augustus 2021

half a moon shines on
the personal library
of a dear old friend

15 augustus 2021

for nearly two years
sheet music stands all empty
music unperformed

14 augustus 2021

city park, august
bee washes up on the shores
of a leafy sea

13 augustus 2021

standing on damp grass
right below our feet the signs
of autumn coming

11 augustus 2021

bust on piano
in stone composers all doubt
comes to a standstill

10 augustus 2021

bicycle tunnel
where graffiti grows like plants
coming up for air

9 augustus 2021

water, convection
clouds seeming to invite one
to fly right through them

8 augustus 2021

mid-afternoon sun
a thousand tiny stars are
born in a puddle

7 augustus 2021

far behind the trees
thunderstorm felt approaching
just like Vivaldi

6 augustus 2021

tired feet walking
along an overgrown path
where are we headed?

5 augustus 2021

life takes a firm hold
on concrete, on highway’s edge
nature always wins

4 augustus 2021

unintended sun
the whole universe captured
on a flat surface

3 augustus 2021

a new flower pot
filled with soil and the soil filled
with expectation

2 augustus 2021

right before sunrise
indoors looking back inside
breaks window at dawn

1 augustus 2021

a bag of records
and a bag with just one book
in my second home

31 juli 2021

an extended hand
dragonfly of leaves and green
seeking fertile soil

30 juli 2021

nothing is certain
a tall old tower stood here
just two days ago

29 juli 2021

an ordinary
magical place in the park
where living grass glows

28 juli 2021

right after the rain
multiple tiny blue skies
live on my window

27 juli 2021

he has passed away
but still drops in to listen
when his records play

26 juli 2021

patterns in branches
the hand of a dead tree paints
the rest of the woods

25 juli 2021

all the things will end
here’s the beauty of decay
dressed like solid fact

24 juli 2021

now facing the wall
universal entropy
is written in stone

22 juli 2021

a field like this one
six years ago, we went on
and he stayed behind

21 juli 2021

brightness uncovers
hidden ghostly silhouet
among summerleaves

20 juli 2021 (2)

Rotterdam

20 juli 2021

even the largest
are drowned out by traffic noise
ghost ships on the Meuse

19 juli 2021

such a comforting
open and clarifying
endless depth of night

18 juli 2021

in quiet safety
in a shell of pottery
new life surfaces

17 juli 2021

(Gouda)

old city centre
sunlight carves passing ages
in weathering stone

(in Go

16 juli 2021

now we are waiting
still unsure wether this road
will lead anywhere

15 juli 2021

on Bemuurde Weerd
the water carries duckweed
on a dark grey day

14 juli 2021

just after sunrise
silent city a flower
that gently opens

13 juli 2021

just a tiny world
so much growth in times of drought
on my window sill

12 juli 2021

one summer morning
the rustling of leaves remains
mirrored in water

11 juli 2021

these meadows and woods
tightly controlled and planted
in a long, straight line

10 juli 2021

fields at forest edge
two scouting trees quietly
marching up ahead

(akker bij bosrand
twee bomen lopen alvast
voor de troepen uit)

9 juli 2021

a miniature:
an old bunker floats
on a sea of moss

(een miniatuur:
waterliniebunker drijft
op een zee van mos)
