Wurkskip is it wurd op ’e dronkene wetters fan de skommeljende Bombrek. Dêr’t it swurk tonger seit, hâldt de loft de duvelskoppen fan Breughel en Bosch. Seilen ride op ’e reiden, skowe as blauwe triangels troch pleats en mole.

Elke lege zak kan in een meer springen Maar alles wat je bezit is nodig om er weer uit te komen Het hangende zwarte water dat tussen je loodzware kleren kleeft en je ijlend onder dwingt
