Nooit meer herfstvakantie

Translation in English!
~

('No more autumn break')

And yet here comes te sun again
Someone must have been to the sea
Because it's as if half the shoreline has been dumped
in the suburb
outside the train station and the shopping mall

I am met by the salty breeze
When I see the large, wet piles of seaweed
panting at the side of the road

Then I am approached by
the wind's impression of a beach stand
probably from a nearby fastfood restaurant
supported by the sour
obscure smell of pickles

In the warm rays of the sun
I can only think of
How it could have been
and for a minute I am enticed
to pour some sand in my new shoes after all

But still the leaking seaweed
produces large puddles of seawater
And tonight I shall eat sea fish
from the fridge
