Valentine

Valentine Knot in Gouda

There are 92 of us
Registered in Gouda as a group
Under an ex-pat umbrella of domesticated love,
As the special person to a special Dutchman or woman.
We, heart and soul immigrants,
Are too part of the city square
Formed by all citizens, us among you holding up our each other’s perspectives
Among the larger prominence, centuries old, of traditional new comers.
