Solo Dining While Growing Up


When my family sat down at the dinner table

There was always
a lot to eat from corner to corner

There was always conversation
between forks and spoons

There was always conversation
between glasses and cups

There was always conversation
between napkins

There were always
empty plates and empty bowls

But the knife that laid between them all-
from mouth to ear-
from mouth to eye-

cut me off.

Het is druk geweest...

...maar binnenkort komen de pennenvruchten terug.

Yours sincerely,
