Dear mom

IM: Nel Allaart: ϯ 16-04-2018

As I am talking to you

pondering about life

I feel almost ashamed

because yours will end

we don't speak anymore

about plans, there is no

future awaiting for you

your days are counted

I would like to chat

but answer your silence

and I convey love with

my hands and my eyes

wanting to ease my pain

you said: 'don't bother about it'

but I won't miss you that easy

You live in my heart

Unforeseen Fortune

Nel Allaart *10-04-1934





















through your ring and bracelet I see
your wrinkly skin
as background

your scarf around my shoulders
is like your caring arm
touching hot

on my wall your ancestors as
treasurers protected
in moody sepia

expanding on an unknown arsenal
causes sacrilege
as treasure diggers

apart from unprecedented splendor, we dig
also a lot of love and we watch
through your eyes
