AFTER A LONG JOURNEY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I sit down on the balcony to watch the night.<\/p>\n

My mother told me it was senseless to be depressed.
\n\u201cMove, do something!\u201d she shouted at me.<\/p>\n

But I was never very gifted at being happy.<\/p>\n

My mother and I were different,<\/p>\n

and we never managed to understand each other.<\/p>\n

However, there is something I would like to tell:<\/p>\n

Sometimes, when I miss her very much,<\/p>\n

I open the wardrobe where her clothes are,<\/p>\n

and as if arriving at a place<\/p>\n

after a long journey,<\/p>\n

I go inside.<\/p>\n

It seems absurd: But in the dark and with that smell,
\nI feel sure that nothing separates us.<\/p>\n

Fabi\u00e1n Casas<\/strong>, Argentina, 1965<\/p>\n
