E.E. Cummings

Nog maar een gedicht van een bijzondere dichter E.E. Cummings

 

Ik had weer eens zin in een mooi gedicht van de Amerikaanse dichter E.E. Cummings (1894-1962).

.

I like mybody when it’s with your

body. It isso quite new a thing.

Musclesbetter and nerves more.

I like yourbody. I like what it does,

I like itshows. I like to feel the spine

of yourbody and it’s bones, and the trembling

-firm-smooth ness and which I will

again andagain and again

kiss, Ilike kissing this and that of you,

I like,slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz

of yourelectric fur, and what-is-it comes

overparting flesh…. And eyes big love-crumbs

Andpossibly I like the thrill

of under me you so quite new
