Dit eefkes

Ik ha
de prommen
út ’e koelkast
opiten

dyst fêst
bewarje woest
foar
fannemoarn

Ferjou my
se wienen hearlik
sa swiet
en sa kâld

Oersetting: Piter Boersma

This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold… Lês fierder
