You wrote a poem.  About Brigitte Fontaine.  Holland
was in there, somewhere.  Later though you removed it,
you
thought Arnhem a better fit, there wasn’t enough bite
in Holland, for you
wanted something harder, with
something harsh at the end; what it means less it

important than the sound it makes, geography not
relevant either.  Holland.  Do you like it?  A word you’ve
not used before but which
you like, a lot.  A rich hollow

sound with the hard clump at the end like the stomp of
thick boots, or a full
stop.  The whole word, in the round

(if you follow me!), Holland; it sounds like a ship’s hull
hitting the
quay.  And always with a Dutch
accent: you
wobble your head and set your throat back, for sure. Like
the sea,
perhaps, one big gulp and it’s gone. 
Holland
