spark / vonk

for clarinetist, Morné van Heerden

and in the beginning was the spark

and the spark became breath

and breath became sound

and sound became throat

and throat became pipe

and pipe became finger

and finger became man

and man became dance

and dance became man

and man became finger

and finger became pipe

and pipe became throat

and throat became sound

and sound became breath

and breath became spark

aan die begin was die vonk

en die vonk het asem geword

en die asem word klank

en die klank word keel

en die keel word pyp

en die die pyp word vinger

en die vinger word mens

en die mens word dans

en die dans word mens

en die mens word vinger

en die vinger word pyp

en die pyp word keel

en die keel word klank

en die klank word asem 

en die asem word vonk
