Tassenberg* (For Jeanne Goosen) ~ Tasenberg



Tassenberg* (for Jeanne Goosen)

You were right, weird woman!
If Jesus can have dirty feet
then you can drink wine with him.
Everything is like Tassenberg:
Cheap as life
and red as shed blood.
The man said: "I can't breathe."
Me neither.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tassenberg* (Jeanne Goosen)

U pravu si bila čudna ženo!
Ako Isus može imati prljave noge
onda s njim možeš piti vino.
Sve je kao Tassenberg:
Jeftino kao život
a crveno kao prolivena krv.
Čovjek je rekao:
"Ne mogu da dišem."
Ni ja.
