  • STANDING ALONE ON THE BIGGEST LOCK OF THE WORLD

    25 januari 2022

    'De Grote Zeesluis', the biggest lock in the world (500 meters long, 70 meters wide and 18 meters deep) shall be inaugurated to-morrow by our king Willem Alexander, who is a watermanager,  in our township. Because no visitors are allowed (because of covid) on the 26th of January 2022, I visited this huge project on my bike. Standing completely alone on the lock (there were only a few people in the distance) was só fascinating. My poem is still exhibited on a window in the SHIP (Lock-) museum, which was closed now, also because of covid.

  • RESTORATION ANTIQUE FRIESE STAARTKLOK

    11 januari 2022

    The Friesian antique clock which was presented to me after giving Peter one of my paintings he adored, is under restoration in my native-city Haarlem. Today I started restoring the dial-plate with oilpaint and 000-3 paintbrushes. A real pleasure and honour to be in contact with this ancient piece of Friesian craftmanship because my ancesters on both sides were born in Harlingen, Wymbritseradeel & Oudega.

    PASSIE​​​​​​

     

    Virtuoos

    in het woord

    afwezig

    in het nooit

    ik smeek je

    geef je aan de jeugd,

    de zoeker, de zanger

    verlaat het virus

    dat hijgt in het nu

     

    Kom

    en omarm

    samen met mij

    de broeder
