The Butterfly Heart (2012)
“She sat inside the window of their house and watched everyone who passed by. She did not move. Only sat, holding her chin in her hand, waiting for nothing. I do not think she will run away, this one. She looks too tired, there is no hope left in her. I saw her mother again as well. In her face there is a memory of a smile, but I do not know if it will ever come back. Then I saw the uncle, the father’s brother, with his friend. Laughing and showing their teeth. Off to the tavern to drink into th...e night, like every night, as if there is nothing better to do. I will be patient and wait for them. Not tonight, but tomorrow when the moon is beginning.
This is the time when the night shows itself only to those who know. For those who cannot see, the night will be dark and strange shapes will appear. Fear will eat away at their insides and their legs will go weak. That is a good time for me. I see everything, because the young moon is my friend.
Tomorrow night it will be so.MoreLess
