A Nightmare of Childhood

A nightmare of childhood

the one-eyed doll opens her dark red lips for a scary smile — nearer and nearer — I can feel her breath at my cheeks and the only eye makes me wait like a rabbit for the badger


Zoomzeman's fiddle tones
while our rocket
flies past the moon

the old owner and his cats

the May is green and white

The May is green and white

there must be a reason
why polar bears
never play dominoes

Mozart Clarinette Adagio
the heavy rain outside
more than a background

a smile
what a smile
ask the heart

war sound—
my neighbors cancel
their vacation

full rain barrel
the filigree super network
by a water spider

I can't stay at home. I'm a healthcare worker and it is a very tiring and busy time in our practice. All people are very unsettled and fearful.

Tick, Tock

tick, tock…

awaking next to the crocodile could be funny

better not trust dolls
with green eyes
