Arend Victorie

[To Arend Victorie’s index]


A poem in Drenthe Low Saxon in which the author remembers a relationship and its violent end:


Onvoltooide tied


Arend Victorie’s oil painting on linen was inspired by
this poem.

Mien ogen vol mit traonen,
wandel ik ’t karkhof of.
Terogge,
naor ’t vergèten strand

Vergèten…

is daor de tied,
toen gedachten
nog jeugdig waren.
Ik viendt er allent
nog bloedstolsel.
Ie waren te jong
veur een moeder.
Net zeuventiene,
toen de vliezen braken.
En ie hölden mij wat onwennig
tegen de börst.

En ik…
Ik zöcht warmte…

Mien ogen vol mit traonen,
wandel ik ’t pad of.
Heur lèvensweg.
Terogge,
naor ’t vergèten strand.

Vergèten…

Is daor de stried,
mit ruwe kerelshaanden.
Oen lichaam,
naakt in bloedstolsel.
En…
Ik viendt oe,
gevangen in de golven.
Traonen van bitter zolt.
Eindelijk warmte.
