| drukkende hitte een zwaluw snijdt de tuin doormidden |
stifling heat a swallow cuts the garden in half |
| verlaten huis knijpers op de waslijn houden de horizon omhoog |
abandoned house pegs on the clothesline hold up the horizon |
| diepe winter hondengeblaf overspant de baai |
deep winter a dog's bark spanning the bay |
| de postboot verspreidt fragmenten zonlicht |
the mailboat spreading fragments of sunlight |
| zonder voetspoor door mijn voetspoor stappen de mieren |
ants leaving |
