Ton van Reen gedicht: vannacht

Ton van Reen

vannacht

 

Vannacht

zijn wij

over het ijs gelopen

 

er was

een vale maan

die traag

langs zijn koude licht

naar beneden schreed

 

jouw mistige adem

tekende draden

over je bedroomd

gezicht

schiep een waaiend

mozaïek

van zomaar

bij elkaar gezette

brandende

kaarsen

 

daartussen leek het

of de haren

rond je ogen

in kool getekend waren

 

de maan werd

een zware magneet

die de ijzeren deuren

 

in mijn hart

opentrok

 

later

heb ik jou

over de schuimsneeuwen

drempel van mijn huis

gedragen
