Carnival 2020

Mardi-Gras in April
extending those days of glee
when revelers saunter the avenues

Maar zal de wereld ook eindigen in een ‘spreken’: “not with a bang, but a whimper” (Eliot) (2) – een lange jammerklacht omdat het voorbij is – woorden – toonloos – enkel klank die nog overblijft…?

Maar is er dan wel iemand die kan jammeren, zijn de jammeraars dan al lang niet verdwenen, blootgegeven aan het vuur, verdampt, opgelost, vernietigd door immense krachten – misschien wel door de mens ontketend? Politieke leiders die nu aan de macht zijn dreigen. Ze dreigen niet alleen met woorden…
