THE MIRROR

Yesterday again
The clouds were passing
At the far dark end of the room.
But just now the mirror is empty.

Snowing
The untangling of the sky.

DE SPIEGEL

Gisteren nog
Gleden wolken voorbij
In het donker achterin de kamer.
Maar thans is de spiegel leeg.

Sneeuwen
Ontwart zich uit de hemel.

LE MIROIR

Hier encore
Les nuages passaient
Au fond noir de la chambre.
Mais à présent le miroir est vide.

Neiger
Se désenchevêtre du ciel.
Close

THE MIRROR

Yesterday again
The clouds were passing
At the far dark end of the room.
But just now the mirror is empty.

Snowing
The untangling of the sky.

THE MIRROR

Yesterday again
The clouds were passing
At the far dark end of the room.
But just now the mirror is empty.

Snowing
The untangling of the sky.
