‘And what about you?’ Silvia asks
‘I’m free like a bird’
She laughs. ‘The same thought was running
through my head’
I look around
at the porteños
having their merienda
whilst I just finished a burger
‘I’m definitely a city girl’ she days and continues:
‘Can you think of a
place where you could settle down?’
I try to think
and I see a porch
and mountains
‘No’
‘But I know
it’s in the countryside
somewhere beautiful’
