I'm good in dying,

yet I get up, bright and strong:


I tried and I failed.


Ik kan goed doodgaan,Ich kann gut sterben,
maar ik sta stralend weer op:stehe aber strahlend auf:
oefening mislukt.Übung misslungen.

Zywa Girl's distress

GIRL, DO STAND STILL FOR A WHILE, PLEASE

It’s the wind, I’m rocking in the wind

HEAR! HEAR!

Please look, my branches move in the wind

THERE'S NO NEED TO FANCY YOURSELF, PLEASE

I don’t fancy anything!

YOU DO, YOU ARE BEING VERY TALL

Sometimes I’m rather tall indeed

HIGH WINDS BLOW ON HIGH HILLS, DID YOU FEEL IT?

It sang in my ears. Ssssssss…..

THAT’S BEAUTIFUL. PLEASE DO AGAIN

Ssssssss….. Help! The wind broke me!

GIRL I HEAR CRACKS IN THE WIND. IS THAT YOU?

Help!

GIRL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PLEASE?

The wind quakes me

PLEASE DO!

 Gentlemens distress (Armando and Cherry Duyns)

 Collection: Pending rain 


Zywa Sometimes éverything falls

Sometimes
everything falls
in
with yesterday
an empty day
that does not matter

Sometimes
everything falls
so short
when I'm longing
for another
I

Sometimes
everything falls
so flat
is the least an overcharge
or does nothing compliantly remain
in place under my hands as I want it

Sometimes
everything falls
apart
for no reason, my
good intentions and my I
love you

though I don't even know how to do that
