by Jan Theuninck
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
Jan Theuninck (born 7 June 1954) is a Belgian painter and poet. Born in Zonnebeke, Belgium, he writes in Dutch but also in French and English. He wrote some political essays e.g."The poet and politics" in Dutch around 2002 and the openingstext of the book "Rimbaud et moi" in French in 2020. As a painter he's rather a minimalistic one working mainly with primary colors. His work in both media is guided by his social and political observations.
