BERT BEVERS: EEN ZANGER IN DE WORTELS

Bert
Bevers

Een zanger in de wortels

Er huist een zanger in de wortels
van mijn stem: geen lied laat hij ongezongen
laat hij steeds met klem weer horen.

Geen lied krijgt ooit de kans
eens te ontsporen in het niet willen ontstaan.
Sotto voce wordt dan weer de melodie

van last ontdaan en als het ware
gekapt uit het vergaan: te lijf
gegaan de onvermoede koren.

Hoor hoe hij de stem bezingt: de blik
minutenlang op niets gericht als om
te oefenen op een vergeten instinct.

Bert Bevers
Verschenen in Hollands Maandblad, Den Haag, 29ste jaargang, nummer 481
