Positioning / Plaatsen
The human mind
is like a tropical rainforest
at a storm plagued coast.
Broken and carved stone
offers the temporary hold
at which the stirring takes post.
*
De menselijke geest
is als een tropisch regenwoud
aan een door stormen geteisterde kust.
Gebroken en gekerfd gesteente
biedt het tijdelijke houvast
waarop het roerige rust.
