Poem
Marc Kregting
FALSETTO TREASURES DEPTH
Jabbing the fork next to the cake. Amusingthis could be, that starter to speechless.
The mercury between the treetops, in delicate
panic glass. There lies resemblance with chores.
Don’t forget your high heels. A circulation jacks
up the score. The ubiquitous thermos. Shake out
gently in front of the tammy cloth, those eyelids
snipped off. Who says has that far-off answer.

KOPSTEM SCHAT DIEPTE
KOPSTEM SCHAT DIEPTE
Een vorkje prikken naast het gebak. Amusantmocht het zijn, dat voorgerecht op sprakeloos.
Het kwik tussen de toppen van bomen, in fijn
vingerglas. Er ligt overeenkomen tot corvee.
Denk je aan je hoge hakken? Vijzelt een omloop
het puntental. De alomtegenwoordige thermoskan.
Zacht schudden voor het stamijn, afgeknipt de
oogleden. Wie zegt heeft dat verre antwoord.
