to the station

our moon as it is

his father too

a pilot

a butterfly

the narrow path

having no end

nothing's changed

in his tool shed

spider webs

Adrian Bouter

child's drawing

his stars

above God

the folded hands

of winter dusk

Adrian Bouter

Adrian Bouter

stick nor stone the mist-drenched dogs
