Ton van Reen gedicht: wit licht

Ton van Reen

wit licht

 

Wit licht uit de hutten

wit de witte graanschuren

wit de rode bomen, wit de zwarte dieren

wit de adem van het dorp

die wit boven de hutten van wit riet hangt

 

Het licht wit het stof van de zwarte straten

wit stof wit de bruine ezels

wit stof wit de zwarte kinderen

zwarte kinderen zijn wit

in wit licht

zwarte kinderen zijn witter dan wit

 

Het witte stof wit het licht

het witte stof van de witte straat

het witte stof

van de witbestoven ezels

het witte licht van de zwarte kinderen

die wit stof tegen het witte licht blazen
