She invited me for a night out. First, drink on the Rembrandtplein, then dance in some underground pub. At least, that's what I thought, but Xie had other plans.

Harryette Mullen
Stretched between two poles,
clothesline outside my window,
a robin’s rest stop.
Lemons fallen on
the sidewalk to be rescued
for my potpourri.
No one and nothing
touches me but this blue wind
with cool caresses.

Neighbors nail the planks
dividing their yard from mine.
Our durable fence.
I walk half a block
before realizing I’ve
forgotten my mask.
One ant following
another, trusting we all
are going somewhere.

Er is ook een versie die zo eindigt:
Dan antwoordt zij, terwijl zij langzaamaan
druppelend water op de koffie giet
en zich de geur verbreidt: een nieuw bruiloftslied.

Impasse III
Juist vangt de fluitketel te fluiten aan,
haar hullend in een wolk die opwaarts schiet
naar de glycine door het tuimelraam.

Maar nu, haar bezig ziend in haar bedrijf,
en de kans hebbend die ik hebben wou
dat zij onvoorbereid antwoorden zou,
vroeg ik: waarover wil je dat ik schrijf?

Wij stonden in de keuken, zij en ik.
Ik dacht al dagen lang: vraag het vandaag.
Maar omdat ik mij schaamde voor mijn vraag
wachtte ik het onbewaakte ogenblik.
