ABOUT SEASONS

Large painted envelope based on a poem by LUCEBERT, mailed to Liza Leyla.

SEASONS

Over the stately constellations of doom

Hunger Heat Thirst and Cold

liana games bloom our bodies

So, old knowledge dies slowly while

scales of snakes rustly snow

The door closes, the door opens when

from a man’s shadow Winter is born while

from a woman’s shadow is born Summertime

So, in such a way, all dead bodies

slowly die.

LUCEBERT (1924-1994)

a poet from The Netherlands, belonging to the COBRA and Fifties Movement

English translation and adaptation by Guido Vermeulen, June 2012
