\nBehind every street corner and underneath every brick – there is one.
\nThe City hall (1), where I married J. while my heart was in doubt.
\nMy heart, already with W. There’s my favourite pub, where\u00a0I spend\u00a0
\nthe school pauses and evenings with friends. The owner looked like
\nMark Knopfler from the Dire Straits. And the bartender J. bought me
\na white rose on the market once, to appologize\u00a0for spilling\u00a0an ice cream
\non my little white dress – he was in a silly mood then. The discotheques
\n– where I danced the night away – are all gone or changed owners.
\nUnfamiliar names glimmer on the frontage now. The shops are the same as
\nin every other city. Except for “de Drvkkery”. I love this bookstore\u00a0that wasn’t
\nthere when I lived here. In a little book that N. got for free I read that the
\nJewish Synagogue in Middelburg was re-build several years ago.
\nI still remember the ruin. It lay behind old houses.\u00a0In a backstreet.
\nDifficult to find, but\u00a0what a beautiful place it was!
\nI made lots of photo’s there and one night I kissed J.W.\u00a0in the moonlight
\nstanding next to its old walls.\u00a0The houses I lived in are still here.
\nNederstraat. Stationstraat. Suddenly, I miss Lenny.
\nThe carillon plays a song of longing.
\nAh, “de lange Jan” (2) is still here.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
