Traces and socks, the

treasure somewhere in the field:


softly disappeared.

Is there still any

room for things that reappear --


after they were lost?
Poem "Lemen stilte" ("Clay silence", 2025, Juliën Holtrigter), final poem of the collection "De weg naar huis" ("The road home")

Collection "Stream"
Upon the midnight's cloak, my hands did stain,  
In careless whisper lost, the shadowed breath,  
A fellow soul slipped through the darkened lane,  
Unwitting bearer of my flawed bequeath.  

With every mournful hour, I reap my sin,  
Each pulse a haunting bell that tolls for thee,  
In dreams your visage dances round within,  
Yet time's cruel hand denies what’s meant to be.  

I drown in sorrow's tide—a grave of thought,  
Tangled in threads of love and veiled despair;  
For thou art dust where once my heart was wrought,  
Yet death unveiled a path to darkness rare.  

When last I sought release from haunting plight,  
Thy soul reborn slips through the veil of night.
Kinda morbid

Saved stuff is a nest,

sticking densely around you --


to a dust depot.
Comic strip #94 - "Heer Bommel en Het Ontstoffen" ("Sir Bumble and The Dedusting", 1961, Marten Toonder)

Collection "**** & Lord"
Don't look for love
it's the worst thing you can do.

It stresses you out, 
and makes you feel blue.

Makes you question everything
you thought you knew.

Question your looks, your attitude,
charm, compassion, intelligence.

You'll always be searching for answers,
Forever on the defense.

Looking for love,
is just too hard to do.

So just stop looking,
forget about love!

And when you do,
when you discover you're comfortable
just being you.

That's the time that love
will take your breath away.

It will come and hit you,
right out of the blue.

So stop looking for love!

When you're ready, 
When the time is right.

Love will suddenly,
and undeniably find you.
So yes this is So Super Cheesy!!!
But it's also So True!!!

You were controlling.
You were horrible
I hate you
You hate me
You cheated
You left
You didn't speak to me
You ghosted me
You left your stuff at my house
and now you want it back.

Full of what.. I wonder?
Bits and bytes of memories
Some of which matter, most of which don't
Data cooking on servers, data cooking the world with heat

Handle won't move
Drawers full
Wardrobes full
Full of what.. I wonder?
Clothes that haven't been worn once this year
Shoes that lie dormant in little door mice boxes
Decent covers for others that need them to stay warm

Fridge door is stuck
Shelves are full
Cupboards are full
Full of what.. I wonder?
Good fruit, tinned meat and veg that I sometimes eat
But mostly goes into recycling
Fuel for hungry soles

I stutt..er, words can't come out
Synapses stuck
Brain is full
Full of what.. I wonder?
Media junk from many screens
Mostly *******, occasionally useful
Negative rhetoric filling valuable spaces
Brain fog and digital clouds, clouding the future
We have too much stuff
