Resistance - by Remco Campert

Resistance
Resistance does not start with big words
but with small deeds.
Such as storm with soft rustling in the garden,
or the cat that gets the pillar in its head.
Like wide rivers
with a small source
hidden in the forest
Like a blaze
with the same match
lighting a cigarette.
Like love with a glance,
a touch, something that you notice in a voice.
Asking yourself a question
that is what sparks resistance.
And then asking that question to another person.
