Poem
Armando
UNSTEADY
After years of struggling against the cockeyedlaws
he counts on the numbers to fall.
He hears the gusts of mud, he sees
the cruel growth,
the emptying of the rivers.
He lurches unsteadily, and lies down.

WANKEL
WANKEL
Jarenlang in strijd met de wanordelijkewetten
rekent hij op de val van het getal.
Hij hoort het waaien van de modder, hij ziet
de wrede groei,
de leegloop der rivieren.
Hij wankelt en gaat liggen.
