What is started with the heart is easily released Poem by Bart Meuleman

What is started with the heart is easily released



what is started with the heart is easily released
with the heart, this need not cause despair.
in general, one has the freedom of most of one's organs,
except a hand when she's asleep and the exhausted rod.
but true sorrow lies elsewhere. give it a wide berth.
go astray in surrounding fields till morning is near, before
you're sought between the pylons, months later,
and you think you've worked it out.

Translation: Willem Groenewegen
