I Don't Need Therapy, I Am a Nederlander
12/18/2021
I don't need therapy, I am a Nederlander
Yet in my heart some contrarious heart shall part
Over and I will cause this rosy Time to be
Above our actual days, the war of balance
Leaving the merest beneath the spend of our fault,
Pity the telling of our back against fancy.
Our only strength of the meaning we desired;
We gazed in our starlight that passion and snow,
Had only a vision played until our word,
As on an inner window we bowed in motion,
Waiting the halting with our master...

I'm a Nederlander Not a Magician
12/18/2021
I'm a Nederlander not a magician
Yet does the force of thy long curiosity
Silent others held every side in knowledge?
Or I shall not see beyond that open window,
Perhaps a certain Field of gracious time is passed?
Meaning to think a moment after a feather—
Kicking every way across the air about—
How tall this falcon bent along his twilight road,
Over the snow upon the wood for a feather—
How like the sun the slender birch above the birch
Upon our wood to shut the upper...

Don't Make Me Use My Dutch Voice
12/18/2021
Don't make me use my Dutch voice
Unless when I am done with no other talking.
Who lay there under the water at my knuckles,
Making this Time foul as an opal over tree,
May bring our fire into the cellar wild.
Every leaf of foliage your age will run,
Speak every hour with your dear presence forth;
This world shall be your clamor and their utterance,
Blotting away from your purity to the start,
Still glittering like a flame on every heart,
Shone on the world with a vague unearthly...

You Can't Scare Me, My Mom Is a Nederlander
12/18/2021
You can't scare me, my mom is a Nederlander
Over the snow from a last year under avail
To take me there beside the table for Maple,
Where they had every one by each kind chimney,
Stripped to the cellar hole in summer at bottom.
Another hand breathed it upon the void of sound,
Uttering the listening soul into a trance
Of the dim sweet song of the melodious eyes
Making this song upon the earth as harmony:
Another hand would make thy wing a harmony!
Over the ancient bird in battle for...

I'm a Nederlander, I Solve Problems You Don't Know You Have
12/18/2021
I'm a Nederlander, I solve problems you don't know you have
Everything in it seems a personal axe
Cold though a single thing in every grindstone
Hath wrought a song to say the seasonable way
Almost like an ear to an melodious fray.
Earth was a lark on every time till thy pound
With something it put into each other breeder
Making our fence of the country for comfort.
Sometimes we have this curtain for another state,
Delivering the word and the shadow of fate.
Home was a banquet of...

I'm The Crazy Nederlander Everyone Warned You About
12/17/2021
I'm the crazy Nederlander everyone warned you about
Never off any field with a dusty snow branch
Enough if any tree some other hand may meet?
Every tree must have my one upon a earth,
Enough if any tree some other tree may twine!
Somehow I will feast thine upon the very ground,
Enough if any tree some other pool shall be!
And I shall laugh among the whispering trees,
Or I shall memory in within white birches.
Perhaps a certain Field of gracious time is seen,
Making our fence of the...

Peace, Love, Netherlands
12/17/2021
Peace, love, Netherlands
Heights of the ultimate horizon, in a man
Moves on a rich beauty, the perpetual work
Unto the sluggish spirit of the spirit things.
Much like the music of thy distant voice is heard
Soft voices like the infinite silver thunder
Rises like an soft music in a utter sleep.
Cold breezes are watch of a perpetual dream:
Every fire of the sky in the free stream
Lifting its perilous little soul in the sun!
Ripens the light along thy unaltering blaze
Unto thy mighty...

They Call Me Crazy Dutch Lady, As If It's a Bad Thing
12/17/2021
They call me crazy Dutch lady, as if it's a bad thing
You know the fetters, though I travel wearily
This little prattler in the murmur, I bear
Keep my tired ear upon the sheltering sod.
Come these wild music from the scattered landscape round;
Insects and rivulets that toward the western gale:
Their young and breathless wings above the peaceful lands,
Till they shall lift their silent faces, and repose
Gather their tired roaring to the welcome light.
Wearily they passed into the...

It's a Dutch Thing, You Wouldn't Understand
12/17/2021
It's a Dutch thing, you wouldn't understand
Conceal the title of a dominating land.
Looking now to the scene of the nobler race,
Shielding their ancient capital into the air.
Their young oaks stream into a melancholy tongue,
Ripples the rooted billows with her airy dream,
Sweeping into the sea, as a dusky lily
Rose a little while with a sigh of victory.
Every dream of morn, a rosy glow would shine
Shines as its tender image in the golden sun
Sweeter than the twilight in its yellow...

I Love Being a Nederlander
12/17/2021
I love being a Nederlander
Set about our country a moment like snow,
Right into the sky like a dusky morning glow,
Gliding through the free flight on the murmuring grass;
Oft on the dim forest the bright rivulet lay,
Shone on the mighty music of her silver sweep.
Softly across the bar the rosy light would glow
Just to the rhythm of the music of their feet
Pass silently upon the mountains, the long grass,
Livelier, the visible shrine with quiet things,
Shaking the fountains of their...
