Bert Bevers: Poppenspeler

bertbevers02a

 

Poppenspeler

 

De touwtjes liggen losjes in zijn vingers, als teugels.

Hij suggereert met broze dingen een danseuse.

Ze loopt niet, dwarrelt: vlinderachtig en verweesd.

 

Zijn handen bewegen zich als reigervleugels.

Iedereen houdt adem in wanneer met gracieuze

golvingen haar leven stokt, er even echt geweest.

 

Zij liet zich zachtjes overlijden.
