That splintering vandal

Ruining the word, the dignity of language,

With his spray paint and disinterest;

His exaltation held in each heel

As they strike the ground and propel him away;

His accomplishment held in hindsight, in memory,

Each line so effortlessly verbatim;

An accomplishment of the public school system,

An addendum to the misdemeanor statistics;

His aerosol paint went skittering across the concrete surface,

Catching the toe of his stained sneakers;

His laughter erupted when they spotted him in the alley,

Rising up through the rooftops like helium.

The original lines, in Belgian: Het splijten van de ruimte wordt geheel in helderheid verpakt staat schitteringen toe te huilen.

My visual interpretation: That splintering vandal, ruin the word, heel in held hind, verbatim stat, skittering in toe, the helium.
