7. The girl from Ipanema.


7. The girl from Ipanema

   Kordaat stap sy met haar waatlemoenboude
   in 'n tanga oor die Copocabana
   haar borste hie skorsies
   maar oorryp spanspekke
   en haar lippe twee oorryp pruime.
   Sy is 'n hele spyskaart sundowners
   soos "Sex on the beach",
   "Wild Orgasm",
   "Blow Job"
   en ander beloftes van seks.
   Ek eet haar met my oe
   en wonder oor haar oorryp koejawel
   en die smaak van bitterlemoene.
   Die vrugteslaai van uitnodiging
   stap stadig en swalk
   op haar hoe hakke.
   Sy is 'n hoer, sy vra geld.
   Ek begeer nie betaalde seks
   of 'n one night stand in 'n sleazy hotel
   nie. Nee, ek soek na iets meer,
   soos die ghitaarspeler op die hotel se boulevard
   wat pluk-pluk aan die snare:
   "Tall and tan and young and lovely,
   The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
   And when she passes goes 'a-a-ah'".
   Soos Antonio Carlos Jobim
   weet ek hoe mens kan verlang
   na iets meer as 'n kortstondige
   e-k-s-t-a-se.
