‘I did it. I killed my mother tongue.
I shouldn’t have left her
there on her own.
All I wanted was a bit of fun
with another body
but now that she’s gone –
it’s a terrible silence.
She was highly strung,
quite possibly jealous.
After all, I’m young
and she, the beauty,
had become a crone
despite all the surgery.
Could I have saved her?
made her feel at home?
Without her reproaches.
I feel so numb,
not free, as I’d thought…
Tell my lawyer to come.
Until he’s with me,
I’m keeping mum.’
