Jef van Kempen gedicht: Onzichtbaar


Onzichtbaar

Soms sprak zij van
alle planten van de wereld
die ondergronds verbonden zijn
door middel van onzichtbare draden
en die door chemische stoffen in staat
van seksuele opwinding geraken om daarna
weer snel te bezwijken bij de geringste
tegenslag en dat dit alles een geheim
is dat door god en de heiland en
anderen wordt bewaard.
Zo sprak zij dan.
Ik luisterde.
