Thinking of Europe: Riga Central Market

And piles of vegetables in between

Squiggling eels
on one end, mimicking
sound to buy lamb at opposite side.
Riga’s Central Tirgus;
colourful.

Memory of Holland, or in Dutch: Herinnering aan Holland, is a poem by Hendrik Marsman that form many stands as a symbol for The Netherlands. Its first line is engraved in the Dutch collective memory. Most will actually refer to the poem as Denkend aan Holland, or Thinking of Holland, because those are its first words. To celebrate Memory of Holland, poet Hendrik Marsman, Europe, poetry and travel, I started the series: Thinking of Europe.
