heron grey

7 february 2020, limburg

walking in dawn

after a frosty night

the meadow

heron grey

grass, metallic, rigid

walking in dawn

just wondering

how the pony’s night

passed by

extending my sympathy?

nonsense!

i cast my admiring glance at

a glazen stream

it slides, sinks and glides by

without breaking the glass

in the wake of

this spring-like day

grass and other vegetation gently cast off

their frosty shells

unpolitically the sun

with its glittering teeth

rolls towards me

penetrating the electric fencing

to warm my frozen shoes

a sunny day!

moments of play

and nourishment

for sparrows and crows

grass, again celery green

i walked in dawn
