A letter to keep

You cannot be the waiting room in two countries.

Horizon · Diaspora / Dual

Your body is in one weather. Your loyalty is in two. The Sunday call still gets the old daughter. The money still crosses. Someone will call that love. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is a refusal to choose where you will be allowed to be old.

Nu trebuie să traduci oboseala. Scrie harta în limba în care gândești când ești obosită.

Decide which Sunday call gets the honest five minutes, and which one gets the weather. Tell one sister or cousin the difference. Name which country’s list your body is actually on — GP, dentist, the scan you keep postponing until the next visit home.

Whose career was allowed to be the serious one? Write it without defending anyone. Then write where you will be old, and tell one person before the next flight. The bridge does not have to live on the bridge.
