Ton van Reen gedicht: Terras

 

TERRAS

Op een terras zitten mannen,
onderuit gezakt
hun handen op de buik gevouwen
slapend tikken hun voeten
de maat van de middag

De klok slaat het hondsuur
drie slagen dreunen
door de trillende hitte

De mannen kreunen in hun halfslaap
een hond likt hun voeten
hij krijgt een trap om te leren
