De Moeder, de Dochter en de Heilige Geest

De Moeder, de Dochter en de Heilige Geest is a collection of poems about the aftermath of a God who dwelt in a woman’s body and about the womb that has taken his place. Through The Mother, the Daughter and the Holy Spirit, the poet seeks out various passages, such as the hollow of a breaking wave or the space between folded hands. It seeks a new way of holding on.

Fragment

de vrouw die mij voedde met haar bloed

 

ziet in een blik welke tekorten er onder mijn huid schemeren

ze duiken ineen als ze ernaar schreeuwt

 

ik lees dat de baarmoeder is ontstaan

door extreme weersomstandigheden

 

ik ben beter in het overleven in extreme omstandigheden

dan in het dagelijks leven

zegt ze

 

onder haar huid schemert een oerwezen

ik schreeuw ernaar

ze wordt niet wakker uit haar houdgreep
