CHARL-PIERRE NAUDÉ
translated from Afrikaans by RICHARD JÜRGENS
All Bearable
That spring morning will stay with me,
the simultaneous warmth and coolness.
Not so much the previous night --
that I could forget, and maybe she has.
Something was going to happen, it was in the air.
We went to bed together.
That day a protest march was going to happen
and the terror that divided us.
Although I wasn't thinking of it, that evening
Why should I?
I remember stroking her, and half-asleep
she stretched.
Maybe it was too late, and the body-sails were never raised
on our agreeable vineyard water.
Later, on overseas streets,
so I heard, that lovely woman had to
submit to the love of the well of desires with its metallic sounds.
But as I was saying, it's the next morning that I remember.
Something was going to happen, it was in the air.
In the distance two stepped onto a private tennis court...
We barely knew each other, but in that bareness,
from her eyes to mine and back,
a backhand accord was struck between the narrow tramlines.
In gaol later I was so sad
Not for the little children who'd been shot dead,
or an afternoon's self-multiplication
of thirty years in those days of so many others,
nor about the clank of iron on iron,
the slow hands of the clock.
That was all bearable, forgive me.
A deeper melancholy had welled up in me
while the other prisoners sang revolutionary songs:
that girl's tender breasts in the morning wind,
never seen again, pure dandelions,
and a merciless change of season.
1) Carl Spangenberg, rugbyskeidsregter, het Sondag verdrink. Teenstrydige
berigte: Hy wou nog gaan vir 'n laaste duik, hy het van die boot afgeval. Hy
het gewaai dat hy OK is, iemand het ingeduik om hom te gaan help en self in
die moeilikheid beland.
Die duikeenheid soek nog na hom, maar daar word aanvaar dat hy verdrink het.
2) Dit is vreeslik warm hier in die Kaap - dus gaan die mense in die VSA 'n
vreeslike koue winter hê:))
3) Ons weet alweer nie waar ons Prez ronddwaal nie - ek dink nie hy is in SA
nie:)))
4) Mad Bob Mugabe is nog steeds besig met sy streke.
Hy gaan nie internasionale monitors toelaat by die verkiesing volgende jaar
nie en hy het 'n verdere 1000 blankes gelas om die land binne 3 maande te
verlaat.
5) Ons koerantmense is nou so pessimisties, hulle maak nou al voorbrand dat
ons Sprinbokspan Saterdag teen Italië gaan verloor.
6) Ons sokkerspan het 1 - 0 teen Egipte gewen - blykbaar iets groots:))
Vertellen jullie eens het verschil tussen een NL slager en
een ZA. vooral over het verschil van hoe het in de vitrine ligt.
de verscheidenheid en de benamingen..bv weet men wat
blinde vinken of slavinken zijn??
Jammer oor die Engelse plasing van die storie. As jy dit nie wil
lees nie, moet dan nie die moeite doen nie.

A man was going up to bed, when his wife told him he'd left the
light on in the garden shed - she could see it from the bedroom
window. But he said that he hadn't been in the shed that day.
He looked for himself, and there were people in the shed,
stealing things.
He rang the police, but they told him that no-one was in his
area, so no-one was available to catch the thieves. He said OK,
hung up, counted to 30 and rang the police again.
"Hello. I just rang you a few seconds ago because there were
people in my shed? Well, you don't have to worry about them now,
I've just shot them all."
Within five minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the
area, an Armed Response unit, the works. Of course, they caught
the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to the man: "I thought you said you'd
shot them!"
He replied "I thought you said there was no-one available!"

Gisteraand, oor die pos, 'n sensusvorm gekry om te voltooi.
Die brief is ongedateerd - Net November 2001.
Ek kan die ding voltooi en terugpos in 'n koevert wat ingesluit is, of net
ingooi by die poskantoor - daar is blykbaar doos daar.
Nou kom die eenvoudige vragie by my op - sou dit nie pleinweg gouer en
makliker gewees het om die vorms na al die adresse in die telefoonboek in
die eerste plek uit te pos nie? Dan kon die mense wat betaal is, maar nie
hulle werk behoorlik gedoen het nie, net by die plekke aangeklop het wat nie
'n plakkertjie op gehad het nie?
Vra maar net.
Annette
Sommer net na aanleiding van die vloekwoord-berig wat onlangs hier verskyn
het.

En sowaar as fok ook uiters ekfokkenspresionisties
