Gedicht van Joost

joost van gijzen, gedicht, poem, tranen, vingers, drawing, tja, Enkeling, 2011

De hete, hete tranen die ik huil -
het is alle warmte die jij mij kunt geven
Maar soms zijn ze me welkom
als ik wanhopig wakker lig
Want zo moeten ze voelen -
jouw vingers op mijn gezicht

Poet Joost van Gijzen asked me if I wanted to make a drawing to go with one of his poems. I chose this one.
