Liège, to Maastricht
the train window, a map to trace
with a finger or an eye
more than virtual reality
a smooth transfer, from A to B, no reaching
here is the in between, it’s a place, a
moment between
breathing out and breathing in
through Flanders, Wallonia and back again
weaving
old thoughts bear new seeds
a glance, a noticing, love sits here
no pause for a moment
between
scanning horizons, near and distant, faces
for a change
a moment
when things are different
imperceptible
one moment brings much from the one before some of the first moment too
thinking of EU at Eupen
Oupeye spied from the train
what station are we passing through
or are we stopping for a while
change unsudden
on the border
following the river Meuse
a natural border
that started all of this
Vise, Belgium, België
Eijsden, The Netherlands, Holland, Nederland
crossing, crossing where?
in no time
no thump or bump or guard or dotted line
no change of scene, or guard check
red won’t turn to blue without
going through orange, yellow, green
