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
