The silence
around and in the
house is hurting
killing me
after 3 weeks
of constant noise
talking people
and screaming
kids, disneytunes
my ears hurt
by the sound of
nothing
the flu is banging
my poor head
and fever makes
me see things
that ain't even there
or here
the cold western
sea wind
got to me
and brought me
some Dutch germs
I'll stay safe
in the loneliness
of my own
cuddly but empty
bed
and miss my loved one
even more then before
