New large painting around a poetry fragment by Simon Vinkenoog:
FROM WATERLAND
Nature tries her best ...
In the garden of eternity
nobody provokes you,
nobody attacks,
nobody flees,
nobody leaves,
nobody procreates nobody.

DAGDROOM
DAYDREAM

Sleep holy prisoner sleep
Escaping this dream existence
Where is dead who'll leave
this square, my empty face
with drums in veils

Sleep white sleep
Where is the dream without borders
Where is eternal continuation
& where are these blue roads
along you'll betray this heart

Sleep dungeon sleep
I've created your mirror image


SIMON VINKENOOG, 1950
