Aurora

Nachts overdrachtelijk geheim
Bevrucht mij met geen enkel rijm
Maar ‘t wekt de vogels uit hun nest
En werpt ze langs de hemeltrans
Omhoog: dit wordt de laatste kans
De sterren sidd’ren, ongelest
Blijft hier de dorst, het edel water
Draagt donk’re schepen verder, later
Vergaat het nachtzwart in het licht,
Dat aarz’lend opgaat aan de rand
Der wereld, langs het polderland
Opent de morgen zijn gezicht.
~ D.A.M. Binnendijk

Aurora

The night’s metaphorical secret
Imbues me with but not a single rhyme
But it awakens the birds out of their nests
And throws them on high along the
Arch of sky : this will be the last chance
For the stars to tremble, the thirst
Remains unquenched, the precious water
Carries dark ships further, later,
The black of night gives way to light
That rises hesitantly at the edge
Of the world, along the land of polders,
The morning opens its face.

Ruis and family - you are in our thoughts
