[golfplaten daken mosdaken...]


golfplaten daken mosdaken met blekende was lakens en natte knijpers die dansen in wind een mensenhand of hoofd nergens te bespeuren maar wel roestvrij stalen schoorsteenpijpen oranjerode pannen met van boven naar beneden iets zwarts achtergelaten regen open deuren dichte gordijnen de schone was hangt buiten en takken groeien graaiend naar waar ze kunnen ontwrichten stenen muren daarbinnen hij denkend aan zwembaden badpakken gluren en na de koffie drinken zwembaden spieken over de randen van aankleedhokjes gettoblasters klonken als betonnen vierbaanswegen onderdoor reden jongensstemmen hij kan het horen maar zij trekt aan wat hij bewaart achter zijn tralietanden en laat zijn lamme tong weer lopen terug naar het dorp waar hij woelnachtenlang dorstig wakker ligt mes in de buik van een hongerige god

[Wellblechdächer Moosdächer mit bleichender Wäsche...]


Wellblechdächer Moosdächer mit bleichender Wäsche und nassen Klammern die tanzen im Wind eine Menschenhand oder ein Kopf nirgends zu finden aber wohl stählerne Schornsteinröhren orange-rote Dachpfannen mit schwarzen Resten von oben bis unten Regen offene Türen geschlossene Gardinen die saubere Wäsche hängt draußen und Zweige wachsen gierig greifend nach allem was sie zerstören können steinerne Mauern hinter denen er denkend an Schwimmbäder Badeanzüge spannen und nach dem Kaffeetrinken schwimmen spicken über die Ränder der Ankleidekabinen Ghettoblaster klangen wie vierspurige Betonbahnen unten durch fuhren Jungenstimmen er kann es hören aber sie zieht an dem was er bewahrt hinter seinen Gitterzähnen und lässt seine gelähmte Zunge wieder laufen zurück zum Dorf wo er wühlnächtelang durstig wach liegt Messer im Bauch von einem hungrigen Gott

Übersetzung: Marinus Pütz
Language: english

[corrugated roofs mossy roofs...]


corrugated roofs mossy roofs with bleaching laundry sheets and wet pegs dancing in wind a human hand or head nowhere to be seen but there are stainless steel chimney-pots orange-red tiles with something black rain discarded running top to bottom doors open curtains shut the clean washing hanging out and branches grow grabbing for something to unsettle stone walls within which he’s thinking swimming pools leering at bathing suits and drinking after coffee swimming pools peeping over the tops of locker rooms ghetto blasters sounded like concrete four-lane highways boys’ voices driving under them he can hear it but she pulls at what he keeps behind his teeth-grate and makes his lame tongue run back to the town where toss-n-turn-nights-long he lies awake thirsting
knife in the belly of a hungry god

Tsead Bruinja (1974, Rinsumageest / The Netherlands) lives and works in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

He writes poetry, reviews of poetry and has organized several literary events such as the open-air poetry festival Dichters in de Prinsentuin (Poets in the Prince's garden). He writes in Dutch and Frisian and has published his work in a number of literary magazines. For a period of two years he was a member of the editorial board of the Frisian magazine Hjir.

His Frisian debut De wizers yn it read / The meters in the red (Bornmeer) was published in 2000. In 2001 his second collection of Frisian poetry De man dy't rinne moat / The man who has to walk appeared in print, followed in 2003 by the collection Gegrommel fan satyn / Mutterings in satin. Dutch poems were published a number of anthologies, one of them is Vanuit de lucht / Out of the air (Passage, 2001), an anthology of work by the youngest generation of poets writing in Dutch.

Together with the editor of this anthology, Daniël Dee, Bruinja has compiled two anthologies on the male and female genitalia, entitled Kutgedichten (Passage, 2004) en Klotengedichten (Passage, 2005). The titles of his collections of Dutch poetry are Dat het zo hoorde/The way it should be (Contact, 2003) and Batterij/Battery (Contact, 2004).

October 2004 witnessed the presentation of a bilingual miscellany that he compiled in conjunction with Hein Jaap Hilarides: Droom in blauwe regenjas / Dream yn blauwe reinjas - Nieuwe Friese dichters / Nije Fryske dichters - Dream in a Blue Raincoat / New Frisian Poets. A special website with Frisian poetry in English translation as well as information on Frisian literature and short movieclips featuring these Frisian poets can be enjoyed at: www.droominblauweregenjas.info.

More English information and some translations of Bruinja's Frisian poetry can be read at Poetry International Web. Tsead Bruinja has read his work to audiences in The Blue Room (UK; Newcastle), De Brauhauskeller (Germany; Bremen), Forum des Langues du monde (France; Toulouse) and De Wintertuin (The Netherlands; Arnhem/Nijmegen). He also performs his poetry with musical accompaniment by hip-hop or flamenco musicians.
