five minutes (vertaling van vijf minuten)



I hear your voice, surprisingly loud
clear, distinct, I see your room
the bookshelves behind you

I see your full smile breaking through
hear the lines you put into verse
read the desperation in your

life, straight
through the barricades

a click and you are gone
I scroll through the images I recorded
onto my retina, and see

how you are left on your own and we
applaud you in the auditorium
how tonight you try the same as I

to think life back
into existence
