Poem
Remco Campert
Photograph after the raid
Corpses look carefully arrangedin every shade of black and white
the form as it were exposes them
style and structure
on the pavement a functional splash of blood
the composition of incipient decay
sublime statement
auctioned at Christie’s
five to seven thousand
dollars

Lijken lijken zorgvuldig aangebrachtin alle tinten van zwart-wit
de vorm brengt ze als het ware aan het licht
stilering, structuur
op het plaveisel een functionele bloedplas
de compositie van de beginnende ontbinding
subliem statement
geveild bij Christie’s
5000–7000
dollar
