Door ‘t helder geel van de weiden, schokkend<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
in het kunstleer van een intercity, ‘s ochtends<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
de derde zomerdag al – geloof je het niet,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
de tien hoofden van zwarte motorhelm<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
gespietst op palen van guinees sandelhout,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
niet. De blinkende ogen achter het brilleglas<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
weerkaatsten de rollende vogelkelen in de honderd-<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
die zich niet liet zien, de postbode die<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
geen bus meer vond boven nummer veertien.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
En hij, hij schilderde maar, tafereel na<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
Dan begon hij aan het gras, meter voor<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
meter de parkwereld, klaar voor de eerste<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

vroeg was \u2018dat hemels meisje\u2019, dat zij<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
van dit boek wel goed genoeg gelezen, vroeg hij<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
zich af, lang na sluitingstijd. Wat<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
hield hem uit de slaap: een visioen,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
een stormnacht op volle zee gevuld met<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
namen? Geen mast hield stand, opgericht<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
als meiboom op half voltooide huizen.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
Dus bracht hij het terug, of hij het<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
mocht ruilen. Zij begreep. Wist meer<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
dan hij vermoedde van wat uitzien is<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>

en elke stap te ver in onbekend gebied.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
Met het bloed van jonge dieren bokte hij<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
de voorjaarsmiddag in, stootte zich<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
aan bladeren, hoorde melodie in mussen,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
likte als een suikerspin de wind. Zo<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
plotseling. Dit kon het niet zijn. \u00c9\u00e9n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
zwaluw, nooit meer lente.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
Maar keerde weer en vond haar weerloos<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
blozend. En kocht volleerd als koper voor twee<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
guldens in haar hand de krant van zaterdag.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
