Poem
J. Bernlef
new year\'s greetings
Having no faith in big wordsin small words, conjunctions
interjections, in the last word
everybody wants and nobody gets
A total end to conversation
with harsh punishments
ripping the tongue out the most lenient
The horse along the railway
staring at passing express trains
the grass waiting for night to fall
a stone warms itself in the last light.
Why did you desert me?
What a laughable complaint.
nieuwjaarswens
nieuwjaarswens
Wantrouwen in grote woordenin kleine woorden, voegwoorden
tussenwerpsels, in het laatste woord
dat iedereen wil en niemand krijgt
Een totale gespreksstop
met strenge straffen
tong uitrukken wel het minste
Het paard langs de spoorbaan
staart de sneltreinen na
het gras wacht op de vallende nacht
een steen koestert zich in het laatste licht.
Waarom hebt u mij verlaten?
Wat een lachwekkende klacht.
