Translation of a poem by Tjitse Hofman



CRUMPLE ZONE

The bright red bike
of the young lad
lies crumpled
beside the road

Some blood
still sticks to
the handlebars

In the verge
lies a bell
with a smiling
Mickey Mouse next to
front-light fragments

He holds a balloon
and waves
with his hand

Byebye, laddie

Byeee.
