mijn onbekende kameraad<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
waar ik ben en wat hij met mij doet:<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
ik ben een flat in gegaan<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

mijn vader in zijn stoel.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
hem zitten en pak zijn hand.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

Achter het raam is niets<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

en ek droom miskien net dat ek slaap,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

staan hy nie meer agter my nie.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

hoor wakker word? Maar dan sien ek opeens<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
waar ek is en wat hy met my doen:<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

ek loop ‘n woonstel binne<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

trappen af en ik was<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
bijna niet bang meer. Dat was<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

toen je sterk was en nog lang niet dood<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

de vreemdeling die zijn zoon<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
plotseling in een herfstige laan,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
geen tand in zijn bek, een bril<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
met plakband aan elkaar, wat wil<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
die van mij? Ik heb hem haast niet gekend,<\/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 gaf hem mijn oude jas<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
toen het koud was. In een warrig gesprek<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
legde hij me uit dat Japi<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
van die brug was gestapt,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
niet gesprongen, en dat hijzelf de pest had<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
aan water, maar dat stappen een daad was<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
en springen wanhoop. Ik wist niet hoe gauw<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
ik hem daarna moest vergeten, en ik zou<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
zijn naam niet meer weten. Zelfs niet waar hij ligt,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
en of er genoeg van hem over<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
was gebleven om te begraven,<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
of hij iets als een gezicht<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
had gehouden, die idioot, dat de brave<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
weet behalve dat hij boeken<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
kende van vroeger en met ontroering<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

ineens roepen kon Nescio, Nescio.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

heb, o God, dat hij toch<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
mijn jas maar niet aanhad toen de trein<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
hem versplinterde nadat hij beslist<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
had dat dit z\u00edjn stap moest zijn.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

Misschien mag hij bij zonsondergang<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
