Poem
Roland Jooris
PROSPECT
To escapewe live
albeit strained
the hankering does not
stop
yonder lies
exhaustion
yonder is made from time
whose hasty brim
threatens to veer off
course

Om te ontkomenbestaan we
ofschoon krampachtig
houdt het hunkeren
niet op
ginds is uitputtend
gelegen
ginds is van tijd
de rand die in de ijlte
met verzeilen
dreigt
