From the long ride, fresh trees
licked by enough blue light
to cross-patch antique trousers,
we come at last past casks
head-dressed with tulips
to this puzzling concourse
where white signs agree to open
a house decked by strangers
with an attentive love.
‘Mynheer, do you remember?
Yes, twenty-five years.
