Grand Larcenies Kim Hyesoon kus me met je kussen

kus me met je kussen de kussen van je mond je adem uitgegoten

one that can’t help but reveal an incomplete and yet overflowing existence

waarin hij zijn pseudoniem laat vallen en vertelt wat de Shoah voor hem betekende

as well as conversations between lovers and friends

from taxi drivers to street vendors
