Enjoy on the other side of the water

March 16, 2017

Enjoy the last stanzas of on the other side of the water, one of the poems from The Refrain of Other People’s Lives, Arnold Jansen op de Haar’s new poetry collection. 

Read by the poet himself in his study.
I have lost everyone
and would be rid of no one

I sit like a caretaker
for the dead
among their effects

for years I have been inheriting
graves

I even so as
to save money wear
my father’s shoes
