Bijna thuis

Omdat Mary Oliver het toch weer zo mooi zegt:

It doesn’t have to be

the blue iris, it could be

weeds in a vacant lot

or a few

small stones; just

pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don’t try

to make them eleborate, this isn’t

a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which

another voice may speak.
