FLORIS BROWN: DIE LEEG IN JOU WEGWEES

Die leeg in jou wegwees

Die
verslaenheid in die leë vertrek
Die
ongeloof en seer skok
om te ontdek, jy’s weg
Sak
en pak, soos in nooit terugkeer.

Om
skielik te besef jy’s alleen
so hulpeloos, alleen
met
‘n tiktak van ‘n muurhorlosie
wat
die skokstilte verbreek,
is daar só baie vrae
‘n
warboel gedagtes wat deur
my
brein flits oor ons laaste konflikwoord
My
hartstog geprop, in ‘n goiingsak
Geen
Lipstifspieëlboodskap of ‘n laaste wegloopstorie,
teen my vrieskas geplak.
