Die reptiel vrou
Het my alweer geflous
Met my gedeel, haarself ontbloot,
en toe
Die bitter gif gespoeg
Dit vloei uit my bors uit, deur my are
Verander my bloed - haar bloed
Word swart, taai, en koud
Soos haar hart
***
The reptile woman
Has fooled me again
Shared with me, exposed herself
and then
Spat out the bitter venom
It flows out of my chest, through my veins
Changes my blood - her blood
Becomes black, sticky, and cold
Like her heart
Sarah and Sally were two neigh-
bors that used to be best friends.
But one Autumn day their friend-
ship came to an end.
They became instant enemies,
They weren't even frenemies.
So,Sarah Sue sued Sally Smith
several Saturdays and Sundays
each Spring.

With love
I ask wind about the breath
In fall of greeting cryings
I walk on shore of your eyes
I do not ask rain about you that your hand cry for cold of winter
I sit with you up to the end of a feeling of a sunset anemone kiss has which
I love sound of petal in breez to caress your eyelids
I pour a bowl of loneliness water under my self fall tree
I sit under patient tree of my sorrows to see your smile leaf green
Find my the shadow
You know that warmth of neigh bors tree is still annoying me
From tomorrow I will select my tears for you with your love
I put my head undr wing of butterfly
That nobody sees shyness my tears
