A wave goodbye

Original title: ' De laatste groet'. By Jeannine Winklaar A translation from Dutch to English.

gazing through the open window she sees the tree

he beneath it

the place of their daily reunion

he awaits

sharp wind and rain embossoms the green

and his new coat

he calls out her name and stares not understanding

she stretches her hand - a wave goodbye - and 

shuts the window  The same hand travels to her belly 

and she feels strenght emerging, slowly

this is the place to be - her core - regaining herself

she chooses the peace and tranquility of memories

and leaves the confusion behind
