ecologic [28]
blue acorns fall on the forehead of the night tapping
touched lightly that dumb luck in ever changing shapes
and sizes because words everywhere are glassy scars
on their way to a more refined earth at high speed
butterflies flit past come along to the woods for centuries
to see whether we know how they find their way
or dream of urging grammar into a language
in blood, urine or pheromone for the lifespan of a frog
flying through the air surrender to your surroundings
share everything that is broken trampled more song and names
than you can handle acts of speech torn by lips
in the sense of the bold venture apply ambiguities
to the pomegranate-like excess of a rainbow clear
and more lives move alongside us than we know

ecologic [28]
blauwe eikels vallen op het voorhoofd van de nacht trommelend
licht aangeraakt dat stom geluk in steeds wisselende vormen
en maten want overal zijn woorden glasachtige littekens
op weg naar een verfijnder aarde op hoge snelheid
gaan vlinders voorbij kom dan naar het bos al eeuwen lang
om te kijken of we weten hoe ze hun weg vinden
of ervan dromen de grammatica aan te sporen tot een taal
in bloed urine of feromoon voor de duur van een kikker
vliegend door de lucht geef je dan over aan de omgeving
deel alles mee wat kapot is vertrapt is meer lied en namen
dan je lief zijn door lippen verscheurde spraakhandelingen
in de zin van het waagstuk pas meerduidigheden toe
op de granaatappelige overvloed van een regenboog helder
en meer levens naast ons bewegen dan we weten
