More and more, we speak picture
language with digital icons of Home
Heart (in the colour of the moment)
Envelope, Clock, Arrow and Bin
but icons of paint and blood travel
with us in their world of gold leaf
as portraits of the life
we like to live
thoughtful and attentive
like a ***** bird
showing its feathers
and not camouflaging itself
in the attire of its neighbours
colleagues or pictograms
With acrylic paintings on canvas, by Ada Breedveld (Dordrecht 1944)
