Verhuizend meisje
Ze was pas drie en al een keer verhuisd
Als voorbode voor nog meer verhuizingen
Ingepakte dozen met boeken en spullen
Vormden geen mysterie voor haar
Nieuwe winkels, buren, kamers, mensen
Waren zoals ze waren en wenden snel
Ze konden maar beter niet al te leuk zijn
Dan was het extra moeilijk om te vertrekken
Bought new acrylic paint this week. Cadmium red, cobalt blue, cadmium yellow, titanium white and oxide black. I am working on a painting of a small girl with a pony tail, seen on the back. The following poem is about her.
Moving girl
She was only three and had moved already once
As a forebode to even more moves
Packed boxes with books and stuff
Were no mystery for her
New shops, neighbors, rooms and people
Were as they were and became routine soon
They had better not be too nice
Then it was extra hard to leave
