Bart Moeyaert

siberia

Give me your coat
of teddy bear fur.
Wrap me in your winter clothes
and in your arms.
Kiss me warm.
Kiss me
until I purr.
Then take off your skin
and tuck me in.
Hush me with your heartbeat –
us our, us our, us our –
and turn this outsized double bed
into a tiny keep of eiderdown.

siberië

Geef me je jas
van bont van teddyberen.
Leg je arm om me heen
en al je winterkleren.
Zoen me
tot ik warm word.
Zoen me
tot ik spin.
Trek je eigen huid dan uit,
stop mij eronder in.
Sus me met je hartslag:
wij ons wij ons wij ons.
Maak van dit veel te grote bed
een heel klein fort van dons.
