IJSVOGEL
dolk op wieken in een jasje van kobalt,
buik oranje… maar de oogwenk ziet
even maar een blauwe vlam

voor hogere jagers zo blauw als het water;
voor wie daaronder huist (de voorn, de bliek)
het grauw oranje van dor blad

totdat de twijg kort neerbuigt, terugveert,
vleugels vinnen blijken en de dolk
zich om de schubben schaart, waarvan

de tak straks glinstert, na de slacht wanneer
het wapen drooggepoetst, de slokop zit en
schokkend kleur geeft aan de winter

Arie van den Berg

(Translation: Kingfisher
dagger on wings in a jacket of cobalt,
orange belly... but the blink of an eye sees
only briefly a blue flame

for higher hunters as blue as the water;
for who dwells underneath (the roach, the bream)
the dull orange of dry leaves

until the twig shortly bows down, bounces back,
wings turn out to be fins and the dagger
slashes around the scales, which

will soon make the branch glisten, after the slaughter when
the weapon is wiped dry, the glutton sits and
shockingly brings colour to the winter

Arie van den Berg

Held up to the light, exactly matching parts form a stickleback
The text next to the watermark can be read with a magnifying glass
The ink layer on the front is tangible
The kingfisher in the watermark has light and dark shades
