Cleanliness and routine
a blessing of calm

giving me energy
and making me jump
"in spin, the loop is in
out spout, the loop is out"

I'm going wild in the garden
party of earthly delights
I jump to the fruit, ripe and green
every day again, it has no end

as long as it lasts -
until I write smaller and smaller
circles around my centre
under the caprices

A blessing of calm
cleanliness and routine
"Rondo" (2001, Calliope Tsoupaki), performed by Heleen Hulst on baroque violin in the Organpark on February 18th, 2017

Skipping rope: "In spin, the loop is in,
out spout, the loop is out"

I want to belong
just
laugh together
and keep talking

whisper in the warmth
of each other's blood
safe in the insecurity
of life

that hits friends and takes them away
from the chain dance -- to the last
we hold them
hand in hand

I don't lock me up
in guarantees and fear
I bump and dent me outside
in the storm, together

with warriors
who do not hide
from the fate of others
because they belong

Waking up with a start, I softly push
over your snoring, reassured

I sink back in fatigue, dreaming
to catch up on what I don't come around to

in my half days of little
care for Missy, you and me

Sometimes I have to keep kissing you
have to weep you wet for more

time, doing more, living bigger
with less sleep, I do have so much

to give that I don't come around to
in my half days of little

care for Missy, you and me
For Maria Godschalk #33

Look, do you see it's me?
Don't mind the poppies
don't mind my skin, my head

without hair, okay, you may
see the earrings, they're winking
to the desirable gold

that you only know *******
tight above unadorned ears
It was only loose at home

I tried lipstick
and became invincible
a robot woman full of energy

The pain does not count, I'm alive
experience after experience
a different person

The pain does count, I like
to live, take all
chances, give

anything for it
as long as it goes, as long
as I can, as long

as my energy flows love

Clouds are approaching,

they are dark, I seize the days --


The sun is still shining.

My flowering lips

are licking the world, too wide --


for my vaginette.

Listen, follow my words
maybe they'll open you
to the Big Secret

and anchor it
in your mind, the gravity
of it in your heart, a sense

of what life is, your
life on planet earth
People in love know it

for a while, while it lasts
It changes everything
you do, everything you see

The world and you adjust
easily and by themselves
Osmoses over and back

free from friction and irritations
of your skin, that flow the bittersweet
out of you and into you
Bittersweet (solanum dulcamara, active against eczema and witchcraft)

Collection "The Big Secret"
Zywa May 2021
I have fought, still
there are barbarians if you dare
to look behind the mirror

and to step through it
into the real world
of expensively bought wrongprovements

Victories are forgotten
while people celebrate them
over and over again

they will have to be won
till eternity amen
I sign for it

a tick after my name
I have 'seen' life
let's dance

till the music drops
A checkmark means “vidit” = seen (in 1531, counselors of Emperor Charles V had to sign documents with such a v)

do something, then you will find –


your motivation.
