shaded statue
Dry tears
that no one sees
crack furrows, fragile lines
in cheeks that no one touches with
kind hands.
Shaded Statue appeared
in The Armchair Aesthete. |
beeld in de schaduw
Gestolde tranen
die niemand ziet
gegroefde rimpels,
broze lijnen
in wangen nimmer door
strelende handen beroerd.
