* [vandaag probeer ik hartgrondig steeds opnieuw]

vandaag probeer ik hartgrondig steeds opnieuw
waar ik steeds zo hartgrondig stuitend goed
naar zoeken moet

een falen tegelijk onmetelijk licht
en handzaam klein genoeg
om mee te kunnen nemen –
altijd bij me te dragen

een falen bij de tijd
van nu en van mij – tegelijk
even alomvattend

onpersoonlijk
