Niels Landstra: Mishandelde straathond

FLEURSDUMALPOE01

Niels Landstra

Mishandelde straathond

 

Zijn hart een mishandelde straathond

Kruipt verstoten over straat, gekleineerd

door haar scheldkanonnades, gekromd

en stijf zijn foetushouding, uitgeteld

 

zinkend in kieren kinderkopjes

een kloppende placenta die met zich

meesleurt de versmelting, vruchtbodems

de oerbron. Het aanzwellende dwaallicht

 

lonkt naar de arm schouwende straathond

die naar zijn volgzame joyeuze hart

luisterde toen het wegrennen begon

samen naar de jonge horizon, zacht

 

in haar armen vlijen, de vagebond

die zij lustig ontving, met een glans in

haar blik die haar vruchtbare weerzin

 

verborg zolang haar boezem het verbond

verdroeg hem niet op straat te werpen

met zijn turen en huid en kreunen zacht
