How Did I End Up Here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m in a place you don\u2019t know,
but you would recognize me from afar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine the photograph:
a woman alone,
on the corner of an island,
in the middle of winter,
smoking her last cigarette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She takes pictures of strangers,
trying to find herself in one of them,
but they all seem so different
from what she could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strange feeling of emptiness:
being so close
and, at the same time, so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands red from the cold.
A heart trying to find warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why aren\u2019t you here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you would cover my body
with something called arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe we could find each other
in the faces of strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you help me find myself through them,
or would you make me find myself through you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving through time
to return to what
we once called freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My love,
come back to the place we said
would be our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask me for a kiss
in a subtle way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask me for a hug
in the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s meet,
once again,
somewhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a plea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
