Eva - Picknick Versie - Boudewijn De Groot

I hold the world in my hand

The glass egg full of land and clouds

I will overcast heaven

I summon the ferns from the sand

I shake the monkeys out of my sleeve (/I make the truth finally come out)

The speckled panthers and the ants

The blue bunny, the scratchy animals

I sprinkle topaz, azure and dew

I now know I am capable of anything

I recognize the animals by their skin

The birds by their noteplay (/bit of music)

And I give names to men

The paint I spilled suddenly catches on fire

The flaming pallet falls from my hand

The earth sways open, I see her walking

On my own green grass

Do you want to be white, and unknown to me? (/Are you suggesting I don't know you?)(/suggestion: Do you want to, white being\entity, that I deny you('re existence)

And also that I'm not almighty?

You want to forget me, eat my fruits

And deceive me with your man

Here in your body of alabaster

I see the pink flames burn

And what you want drops into your hands

You have tainted my world

A green patched cat sneaks over there

And already sieges the blackbird

The iguana starts to blow bubbles

Crawls along the path on five paws

The myoma arises from the water

And tinkles with his glass snares

In the crystal pillars there is

An owl that whistles smutty songs

Here I am like a fool in my dressing gown

I thought I was capable of anything

And am I gone, then comes tiptoe

The angel with the large knife
