Leonardo da Vinci
Manuel
Kneepkens
hij schilderde de glimlach
op de lippen van La Gioconda
haast Dagpauwogig
mild
zijn tekenstift
opende op de ene vlindervleugel
na de
andere
de Gulden Snede
van de Hemeldeur naar het Heelal
daarachter
begluurde hij
van de Engelen
de onschuld van
hun naaktheid
en wist hij zelfs in spiegelschrift te vangen
de
rorschach van hun vlinderGod
vlinder Vader vlinder Moeder
vlinder Kind
het begin van alle licht…
Zo onderwees hij ons
hoe te
vliegen
Leonardo Da Vinci 'Mona Lisa'
Leonardo da Vinci
Manuel Kneepkens
He drew the first Butterfly-man
he painted the smile
on the lips of La Gioconda
almost Peacockishly
faint
his drawing-stylus
opened on one butterfly wing
after the other
the Golden Section
of the Heavenly Door to the Universe
behind that he peeped at
the Angels'
innocence of their nudity
and he even succeeded capturing in mirror-image
the Rorschach of their butterfly God
butterfly Father butterfly Mother
butterfly Child
the beginning of all light....
