Flea market Vossenplein - a photo on Flickriver

            I wrote a few lines for this photo about my impressions on this square this morning in Brussels - BE

Orphaned things 

If you would stand on this square this Sunday morning
And if you would have closed your eyes,
And would have listened very carefully,
You could have heard the whisper of all these orphaned things.

All in households long ago, but now transformed to tumble weed,
Pushed by the gentle winds of time onto these tables and these cobblestones,
If all these things were transparent, they would each write a book about their life and
Vossenplein would be the biggest library of all things in the world.

But they are not: the murmur of these things sounds cloudy and opaque,
And if you look at them, you sometimes see their loneliness,
That vase that has been snatched from its familiar and beloved place,
That empty photo frame, these things they are so single, they seem jealous.

Jealous of that happy silver spoon and fork, still together after all those years,
In 12-fold!
With the whole family in their native velour box, 
And when that box is closed,
They dream of endless Belgian dining parties,
When the world was young and innocent and 
Animals and household things could laugh and talk
And write a book about their life.
