don't leave me alone.


Als baby en kindAls Baby und Kind
huilde en lachte ik al:weinte und lachte ich schon:

laat me niet alleen.lass mich nicht allein.

To make people laugh,

every baby learns that much --


sooner than talking.


Hen laten lachen,Zum Lachen bringen,
dat leert elke baby veel --das lernt jedes Baby viel --

eerder dan praten.früher als Sprechen.

Zywa Airways

Floating conversations in the park
strollers breathe their thoughts

out into airways above the paths
that on the way dissolve wordless

in the minds hazy sounds
togetherness angelic language

whispering questions living
in the blood fears and sadness

an open circuit stowed around
by an invisible heart

an ignorant heart searching
to understand what it loves

in the running life
of unsolved cases
