LEOPARD

Autoplay

Leopard by the brain-stem
listens to the radio wind
knowing, not knowing.
He lifts a paw,
pulls a tongue across his spotted fur.
Far away, there's a collision.
A gust of wind through the trees.
The leopard yawns, stretches.
The apes chatter nervously.
It moves to a new branch.

Poems By Tonnus Oosterhoff

A bird likes singing

A woman filling herself in pale grey from below

How gladly I saw the widower a sprig of roses

Een in grijsgrauw vanonder zich vullende vrouw

Een vogel houdt van zingen
