Late at night a mist fills the valley.
without knowing it suffocates like a dark power.
on the fields our dead bodies and under the grass a brown soil

Belgium
Jan Theuninck
(born June 7, 1954), is a Belgian painter and poet. Although
born in Zonnebeke, Belgium, and a native speaker of Dutch, he
writes also in French and in English. His painting is abstract,
falling somewhere between minimalism and monochrome
expressionism.. His work in both media is guided by his social
and political convictions, dealing with topics such as
colonialism old and new, mass and society, and pacifism.
