Poems

Love wasn't great enough
I was such a child myself, ten years old
I came to the institution, unwanted
and ignorant how
Till my brother found me
between the infants of my class
and told me how
I was 37 when I got a family
I asked them for shelter
but they didn't know how
So I stayed here and grew old
wrapped in sheets of folding paper
keeping back how
suffocating my life is
No one smooths out the folds
No one knows how
Regina Antonius de Kok (1895-1980), nun Euphrasie
Collection "Silent walk"
