Mijito, Hernancito.......

Tell me…..

Tell me please where are you,

what remote place is hiding you,

where I can sleep without remembering you

and where I can remember without hurting

Tell me please

where I can walk without seeing your footprints,

where I can run without remembering you

and where I can rest with all this sadness

Tell me please where

is Heaven that

doesn't have the

warmth of your

Loving look

and where is the sun

that only has light,

but not the sensation

That you call me

Tell me please

which is the corner

where you didn't

leave your presence

tell me please which

is the whole of my

pillow that doesn't

have your hidden

memories

Tell me please……

which is the night that

you won't come to watch

me while I sleep

that I can't live because

I miss you and I can't die

because I love you.....

Jorge Luis Borges

To my beloved son Hernancito

On the 3rd anniversary

Of his departure to Heaven,

With all my love
