Jazzgedichten - Jazz..!

Jazz...!

Grauwende, grommende flarden
bewegen snijdend door de zwellende storm
en bedwingen weerbarstige wind
hooggeheven op een cadans van onrust.
Scherp afketsende, rollende roffels
raken tot ver in diepe krochten;
verleiding maakt zich zo meesteres.

Teruggekaatst, echoënd, spreken vurige tongen
opzwepende bezweringen in cryptische talen
om even plotseling, zonder waarschuwing,
in zachtheid mee te voeren op koesterende trillingen
naar overgaan in kwetsbaar verlangen,
golven teer wiegend in hun droombedding.

Op lichtheid van warme ijle bespiegelingen
dragen tonen van leven verwondering met zich mee,
om uiteindelijk in rust met mij te vervloeien.
