Kees Godefrooij sonnet: Aan de muze

 

Aan de muze

Mijn god, je ziet dat ik me kan vervelen
dat het me dwars zit als een scheet
dat ik je bovendien dan niet wil delen
vertel dus hoe die Fransman heet!
 
je kunt de knoflook uit mijn pasta stelen
met al wat jij van dichtkunst weet
in jouw genade, vrouw ontstaan juwelen
al eist het schrijfproces een eed
 
aan welke dode grootheid mag ik denken
een Mallarmé, Verlaine of die vandaal?
heb geen idee, toe geef me nog wat wenken
 
voor alle loze woorden in mijn taal
zal ik je dan terstond vergeving schenken
aha, de dichter van Les fleurs du mal!
