De Moeder, de Dochter en de Heilige Geest is a collection of poems about the aftermath of a God who dwelt in a woman’s body and about the womb that has taken his place. Through The Mother, the Daughter and the Holy Spirit, the poet seeks out various passages, such as the hollow of a breaking wave or the space between folded hands. It seeks a new way of holding on.
de vrouw die mij voedde met haar bloed
ziet in een blik welke tekorten er onder mijn huid schemeren
ze duiken ineen als ze ernaar schreeuwt
ik lees dat de baarmoeder is ontstaan
door extreme weersomstandigheden
ik ben beter in het overleven in extreme omstandigheden
dan in het dagelijks leven
zegt ze
onder haar huid schemert een oerwezen
ik schreeuw ernaar
ze wordt niet wakker uit haar houdgreep
