Bert Bevers: De tuin is groener nog dan het woord

De tuin is groener nog dan het woord

De tuin is groener nog dan het woord
vermoeden doet. Er in schommelt
een klein meisje zich naar de hemel,
ongehinderd door toevallige goden.

Morgen zal zij parmantig ter communie
gaan met om de schouder wit een tasje
vol onschuld, van oma gekregen.
Haar ogen zijn nog zonder hinderlagen.

Nog koestert zij de wortels om haar voeten,
laat zij zich door alle sprookjes tergen.

De grote vlucht is nog veraf.

Bert Bevers

De tuin is groener nog dan het woord

Verschenen in Preludium, jaargang 5, nummer 4,
Breda, maart 1989

Bert Bevers is dichter en schrijver
Hij woont en werkt in Antwerpen (Be)
