Bert Bevers gedicht: De bidder van Larsa

 

Bert Bevers

De bidder van Larsa


Welke aanroeping rust daar voor eeuwig
in uw mond van goud, prevelaar uit gindse tijd?

“Bent u daar, Oetoe? Hammoerapi hier. Hoogmoed
weiger ik te kennen, daarvan komt toch slechts kwaad

bloed. Maar soms moet ik wegen wijzen die men
liever mijdt, of de vochtige kant van water. Zegen

als het u belieft mijn worp naar verre oorden.”?
Knieval voor immer, geen woorden voor later.

Verzwijgen wat je niet wilt zeggen is je spiegelen
aan de binnenkant van een masker, trage zege.


Verschenen in Onaangepaste tijden, Uitgeverij Zinderend, Bergen op Zoom, 2006
(ISBN 90 76543 09 7)
