Autumn in Amsterdam
If you express an unhappy laugh
where a tear more in place is
it is you already forgiven
you are a young show
a new desire
I have all the while been kept secret
but you smell the autumn in Amsterdam
as a musical ally
the mists and the morning rain
the fresh bread at the channel
a wanderer on language Island
completed in own words phrases are you
uninhibited in my dreams
a new lover
an untamed animal
you would hide no secrets in Amsterdam
because it is thirsty in the city
full of silly dancing letters
that sing in your shivering body.
Henk van Dijk
