[Er loopt een trap de zee in]

Er loopt een trap de zee in
een golf slaat over een trede

een schip dat aan zijn kettingen trekt
zijn romp uitzet

een chauffeur opent het portier van de rijdende auto
en spuugt de betelnoot op de wegglijdende grond

een rollende sigaret spuwt vonken in het rond

bladeren kletteren tegen de passerende wagon
een man houdt in de metro zijn helm op

er is de regen die het vuur dooft

er is een hond die over twee schapen waakt
het veld langs draaft

een trap aflopen

je afzetten op een tree.

Idioma: alemán

[Eine Treppe führt ins Meer]

Eine Treppe führt ins Meer
eine Welle schwappt über eine Stufe

ein Schiff zerrt an seinen Ketten
stellt den Rumpf quer

ein Fahrer öffnet während der Fahrt die Autotür
spuckt die Betelnuss auf den vorbeiziehenden Boden

eine rollende Zigarette sprüht Funken ringsum

Blätter klatschen gegen den durchfahrenden Zug
ein Mann behält in der Metro den Helm auf

der Regen löscht das Feuer

ein Hund bewacht zwei Schafe
trabt am Feld entlang

eine Treppe runtergehen

sich abstoßen von einer Stufe.

Idioma: italiano

[Una scala scende nel mare]

Una scala scende nel mare
sul gradino un’onda si frange

Una barca che tira le catene
dilata il suo scafo

un autista apre la portiera di un’auto in corsa
e sputa la noce di betel al suolo sfuggente

una sigaretta rotolando sparge scintille tutt’attorno

le foglie sferzano il vagone che passa
un uomo tiene in testa il suo casco nel metrò

c’è la pioggia che spegne il fuoco

c’è un cane che fa la guardia a due pecore
corre lungo il campo

scendere una scala

prendere slancio dal gradino.

Idioma: portugués

[Uma escada entra no mar...]

Uma escada entra no mar
Uma onda submerge um degrau

um navio que puxa as correntes
enche o bojo

um motorista abre a porta do carro em andamento
e escarra a noz de bétele para o chão movediço

um cigarro rolando cospe faíscas à sua volta

folhas tamborilam contra a carruagem a passar
um homem não tira o elmo no metro

há a chuva que apaga o fogo

há um cão que vigia dois carneiros
corre ao longo do campo

descer uma escada

lançar-se de um degrau.

Idioma: inglés

[A stairway leads into the sea]

A stairway leads into the sea
a wave breaks across a step

a ship pulling against its chains
its hull bulging

a driver opens the door of the moving car
and spits the betelnut onto the receding ground

a rolling cigarette sprays a circle of sparks

leaves patter against the passing carriage
on the metro a man’s still wearing his helmet

there's the rain that’s putting out the fire

there’s a dog guarding two sheep
and trotting up and down the field

walk down a stairway

push off from a step.
