![]() I didn’t feel as if I lived in this world, Mother. Before going out, I would cast a quick glimpse at myself in the mirror, only to adjust my tie and make sure there was no colour mismatch between my shirt and my suit. I barely even had time to look at my own face. My wife and old childhood friends didn’t fare any better. But you weren’t the only person I stayed away from I was far too busy to pay attention to the world around me or even to myself. For twenty long years you never reproached me for failing to visit you. ![]() You’re the only human being left for me in this world. Place your hand over my head, Mother, the way you used to do when I was little. ![]()
