BERT BEVERS: HIROO ONODA ZIT 29 JAAR ZONDER NIEUWS

Bert_Bevers53

Hiroo Onoda zit 29
jaar zonder nieuws

Thuis groeide een compleet nieuw
geslacht op terwijl hij door gebladerte
spiedde, voortdurend op zijn hoede:
maar niemand duurde almaar langer.

Pal in zijn oerwoud, van alles afgesneden.
Het zwaard nooit wijkend van de zij,
geweren tot vervelens toe gesmeerd.
Hij had geleerd hoe stand te houden.

Dagelijks menu banaan, gedroogd soms,
en vogels uit de lucht. De slapen licht
en bol van zege. Meer dan tienduizend

dagen en nachten de vijand in het hoofd.
Zelfs een havik is tussen kraaien een arend,
o zoon van de bloedrode zon.

Bert Bevers
