I HAVE TRAVERSED beliefs

I HAVE TRAVERSED beliefs. For a long time,

it snowed without promise.

There were mothers who went crazy at daybreak: I hear their yellow shouts.

It goes on snowing. I believe in disappearance.

I believe in rage.

IK BEN door alle geloof gegaan.

IK BEN door alle geloof gegaan. Lange tijd

viel er sneeuw zonder hoop.

Er waren moeders die bij dageraad gek werden: ik hoor hun

gele kreten.

Nog sneeuwt het. Ik geloof in de verdwijning.

Ik geloof in de woede.

© Vertaling: 2010, Bart Vonck

HE ATRAVESADO las creencias. Durante mucho tiempo

nevó sin esperanza.

Había madres que enloquecían al amanecer: oigo sus gritos amarillos.

Aún nieva. Creo en la desaparición.

Creo en la ira.
