LUCAS RIJNEVELD

My Heavenly Favourite

Translated by
Michele Hutchison

FOR YOU

Being tied, known, being in somebody – it’s bad, but

not might be worse. And always, no matter what, I think

of you, at the craziest of times, and never

not even not. It must be that I love you, loathe

anyone who loathes you. Know me then, know

who I am and carry on.

anton korteweg
from ‘Wij samen’ (‘Psalm 139’)
