Differing

See
Close up
See
Far away

See
All the flaws, the brushstrokes
See
How it glistens, the composite whole

Enter the storyteller, all turquoise & jewels
Towing a casket
& a cast
Of one hundred thousand children

Pieter

Contrived
Always in thought
Scarred
He came home

To decorate the tree

Hist

Words in Amsterdam
With this land, far and
Away from Zen, a place 

Of smoke and mirrors
With houses that stand
No, lean; front to back
Side to side; five, six
Seven stories high

Another city centre tram 
The praying mantis is
Judaism’s crossed brethren

This hall of talk and jitters
Where tales of remand
Mean leave some slack
Take a ride; jive, fix tricks
Heaven’s door is nearby

Vittles


Less clear
The beer
In the restaurant

No fear
We have taken
Our photographs already

On Landing

Is there phlegm when you cough
The doctor asked
Are there bicycles
In Amsterdam 
I should have said

Is the warm head
Another sign
Of my illness, or
Do the busy places
Always burn so brightly
