Poem for Elisabeth Eybers
as daughter and poet
it was easier to avoid the spotlight
yet your son's passing becomes
a serious setback -
oh yes, life has already
hung its frames around you
and the only thing you could rely on -
a walking frame
cut like a diamond
to fit into your hand
and life and death
in the other hand
it was easier to avoid the spotlight
yet your son's passing becomes
a serious setback -
oh yes, life has already
hung its frames around you
and the only thing you could rely on -
a walking frame
cut like a diamond
to fit into your hand
and life and death
in the other hand
