Knotwilgers

Vertaald door Elsie Zinsser

roerlose spoke
uit ’n donker kindertyd

Picture of pollard willowslewenslank
gewillig, gedienstig, geruk en gepluk

met growwe groewe
waar vernuwende groei moes wees

en groteske stompe
waar sonsoekende takkies moes sweef

maar klou-krampagtig soos pyle
na ’n droewige hemel gryp

en sonder te groet
in die pad net staan

sonder om eenmaal te wonder
oor die verlore seun se gaan
