The movement in your eyes
is like the sea after a squall
A black squall that ravishes
the waters and leaves them listless
Burying a thousand cries
in its infinite waves
Bringing solitude a new home
beside the wrecked vessel
of a lonely, insignificant woman.

I wrote this ages ago and I still think it's one of my better pieces.

Double Feature

This morning at about 4 am I watched Koen De Bouw and Wouter Hendrickx first in Brasserie Romantiek and then Het Vonnis, which I picked up on DVD in Belgium. I was ecstatic to find that they both had English subtitles and I really enjoyed both films. Het Vonnis was not an edge-of-your-seat nail biter, but it was a solid film with a fabulous cast (Johan Leysen is always wonderful as is Veerle Baetens) and great performances. I wish these kinds of films would get more attention in the States. People are missing out!

Heading Back Home

I'm sad to be leaving Belgium, especially Antwerpen, and am already thinking of when I can go back. There's so much I didn't see, but what an incredible time we had!

 

Tucker in Antwerpen!
