BORDER - Engelse vertaling ' GRENSVLAK "

Border
After a photograph by  @ Fredi Hartman  


Where water immortalizes her patterns by leaving
them tremble in the light, in contineous repetition,
where true shadows border, surfaces touch each
other, there is both movement and stagnation
– the bridge has no reponse. 

And in the meantime the splashing – almost serenity
that contradicts time –  as if you would never leave this
place, as if this place would have never left you – it
is just light, shadow, as time goes by, time and
time again, but even real as permanent. 

See me hesitate, this image wants to be pure, knows
certain laws that I do not know – breathing in and out –
to come from somewhere far away or to go elsewhere,
not to be forgotten – here, against the concrete,
here, close to the lines –
