Kastanjebruine anemonen, in je stugge tuin
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Portuguese (Português)
Kastanjebruine anemonen, in je stugge tuin, weerhouden de bevlogen hand: Voorzichtig. Elk bloemblad of elk kelkblad zij langzaam geliefkoosd, hemel; en mogen de ogen rusten, als abstracte kus, nog vóór de rituele kus, op deze prille flora, liefde; alles is heilig.
