Poem S2722 Amsterdam, 2025-06-17 (Marijke Schermer) - 2024 Novel "In het oog", chapter 'Een freischwebend stuk ruimtepuin' ('A free-floating piece of space debris') Collection: Blankets of snow Tribute to: Schermer, Marijke
Zywa
Creepy shadows
And now he is gone
With broken dreams
everything is only half
I need to go outside
I can go every which way
but it's the same everywhere
The bargains, the hypes
Left right forward backwards
everyone in a row
Left right forward backwards
I will not participate
It is no good
It has nothing to do with me
I spit out my anger
and I crawl behind the window
I see people going meekly
I look into their eyes
nobody is home
Looking far ahead doesn't make sense
hopefully, hoping does
I'm still young

Zywa
My life as a ghost
My memory talks
to people just long enough
to get rid of them neatly
They don't demand answers
it's enough that I don't run away
Then why do I long
for contact, why don't I feel
anything? Because of the sense
that it is not possible
or is it due to the pills?
Will I get my body back
will I ever smell where I am
and no longer feel straight
through myself and others
with thin memories
from the time I learned
to behave
as if it matters
and I'm interesting
worth loving?
Poem 2993 Amsterdam, 2020-06-07 Collection: Greeting from before
Save me, I am stuck!
No song, sun, moon, nor candle --
I only have dry bread.
Red mij, ik zit klem,
Hilfe, ich stecke,
zonder lied, zon, maan of kaars --
ohne Lied, Sonne, Kerze --
Alleen maar droog brood.
Nur trockenes Brot.
