HIM AND HER Poem by Herman de Coninck

HIM AND HER



Bravely she keeps up
her spirits and bust.
With a temperament like
a reinforced bra.

He too is fortified
with lots of cheerful Ha-ha-ha.
But for years now his urges
have been behind bars:
the stripes of his pyjamas.

Translation: 2008, David Colmer
