NAGMERRIE

Gewigloos...
     tyd-
          beweging-
               en geruisloos...

                                       h
                                       a
                                       n
                                       g

                                       ek

               in  grenslose vakuum  vasgevang

               sonder  gedagte, emosie of drang

                                                     alleen...

Tot opeens uit die duister duisende, staalblink silinders ylings, skelkletterend op
                                                                  my afreën!

                          Bloedstollend galm my vrees verbaal:

                                                      vrees wat my jaag

                                                                                           na my voete                                      
                                                                                                                 gryp -

                                                                                     my meëdoonloos inhaal...

....Struikelend,
     swetend,
          op hande en knieë geknak -
                                       asem gesnak -

                                                                                       vlug ek...

                                                                                                     blindelings,
                                                                                                                   bibberend,
                                     
                                                                                       beangs,
                                                                                                   vir die monster van die nag.
