About the book / Sobre el libro:

The cover picture was Dorita’s pillbox. Walking with Dorita through Santa Rosa

(Arg) was knowing that more than one patient was going to stop her. To tell her

how much she had helped them. How much Dorita’s heart had loved them. A

year after your death, I love you so much, mum.© Guillermo Schiava D’Albano.

La foto era la caja de remedios de Dorita. Caminar junto a Dorita por Santa Rosa (Arg)

era saber que la iban a parar más de un paciente. Para decirle y decirme lo mucho que

Dorita los había ayudado. Lomucho que el corazón de Dorita los había querido. A un año

de tu muerte, te quiero mucho mamá. © Guillermo Schiava D’Albano

Ayer caminamosde la mano mamá.Fuimos al bar con solen las mesitas.A dos cuadras de lacasa de Lore en San Isidro.Lila te miraba como cuandotenías seis añosy cantabas en la radio.Cuatro generacionesy un autito rojode Pedrito†.Chocolate para él,café con leche para vos.Te alegró saberque soy feliz con Ana.Que es buena y me quiere.Pero en la selfie ya no estabas.Y quise llorar,porque las mamás nodeben dejar a sus hijosni por el Alzheimer.

† Pedrito es tu nieto, mamá.

Selfie

Yesterday we walkedholding hands, mum.We went to a barwith sunny tables.Two blocks away fromLore’s house in San Isidro.Lila looked at you as ifyou were six years old.Singing on the radio.Four generations andPedrito’s† little red car.Chocolate for himlatte for you.You were happy to knowthat I am happywith Ana.That she is good to meand she loves me.But in our selfie,you were no more.And I wanted to crybecause mums should neverleave their children.Not even for their Alzheimer’s.

† Pedrito is your grandson mum.

Torta con jugo de Naranjas

El hábito queno es rutina†comienza en el taxi.La abuela y vos mamáse sonríen pensandoen la torta que comerán.A veces el alzhéimer telleva a esa mamá llenade miedos.De frustración de la casaque perdimos.De mi hermano elrebelde lleno de dolor.Pero a veces el alzhéimerse olvida de vos.Y comes torta y la abuelate mira cómplicey todo es que rico.Y yo me olvidode tu olvido.Y todos nos acordamosde querernos.

† Dos veces al año.

Cakes and orange juice

The habit thatis not a routine†begins in the taxi.Granny and you, mum.Smile to each otherthinking about the cakeyou are going to eat.Sometimes Alzheimer’scarries you to thatmum full of fearsand frustrations.When I was youngand everyone calledyou Doctor.Defeated by the house we lost.By my brother the rebel,always in pain.By your Santa Rosa‡ without us.But sometimesAlzheimer’s forgets you.And you eat cake,and granny looks at youand everythingis so yummy .And then I forgetthat you forget.And we all rememberto love each other.

Mamá

Me enseñaste a corrercon el primer libroque me regalaste†.Siempre corrí.En la primariapara hacer la tareay portar la bandera.En la secundariacon la regla Ty el metal fundido.En la uni con esperanzasde alas y remachesde aluminio.En mi doctoradoen Londrescon simulaciones de PCy otro idioma.En mi carreraapostando todo al rojo.Finalmente cuandotengo el tiempopara darte.Los pasajesen la billeteraa tu querida Europa.La sonrisacon arrugas yel oído sin respuestas.

Mum

You taught mehow to runwith the first book,you gave me†.I always ran.In elementary schoolto do my homeworkand carry the flag‡.In high schoolwith the T-squareand molten metal.In the uniwith wings and hopesof aluminium rivets.In my PhDin London withPC simulationsand a foreign language.In my careerbetting everythingon the red.Finally, when I havethe time to give you.Tickets in mywalletto your beloved Europe.Wrinkles in my smileand ears without answers.

Elegía a la Dr D’Albano

No fue un barquitode papel.Mamá de verde claroen la guardia del hospital.Ni mi llanto el río.No fue un barquitode papel.Ni mi llanto el río.Los que te devoraroncon flechas de fuego.Y convirtierontus pulsos.En arena de mi reloj.Que cae y cae.Sin que la pueda tocar.Que la escuchoen la salitadel hospital.Mientras te llamanlas enfermerasdesde la guardia.Porque donde estés.Me vas a escuchar.Y vas a abandonarlas dos flores verdesde tu cajón.Y a los que tevelan con café.

Elegy to Dr D’Albano

Neither was alittle paper boat.Light green mumin A&E.Nor my crying the river.Neither was alittle paper boat.Nor my crying the river.The ones that devoured youwith fire arrows.Converting your pulsesinto hourglass’ sand.That falls and fallswithout being ableto touch it.I hear it in A&E.While the nurses call youto your duty.Does it matterwhere you are?You will alwayslisten to me.And you are going toleave the two green flowersof your coffin.And thosewho mourn you.Just Because.

Limones

Nubes vuelan yse enamoran detus alegríasen blanco y negro.Blanco, blanco,amarillo y ocre.En el patio de misjuegos.A la abuela se lemurió su hijita.Amí,mi mamá de olvido.Las nubes pasanmirándome entrelimones.Yo las conozcoy las condeno.Porque te abandonaroncuando gritasteya no más.Entre mi escritorioy el cielo.Te extraño muchomamá.

Lemons

Clouds glidefalling in lovewith your joysin black and white.White, white,yellow and ocher.In the playgroundof my games.Grandma losther little daughter.I lost my forgetting mother.Clouds pass bylooking at meamong the lemons.I know themand I blame them.As they abandoned youwhen you shoutedno more!Between my deskand the sky.I miss you so much,mum.

Stockholm’s Salsa

Thought different doorswe have arrived.Of rivers, dunesand winds.Elevators, stairsand projects.I ran awayfrom London.Crying formy deads.Not from wars,barbed wires and dogs.Uno, dos, tres.I free your hand girl.Cinco, seis, siete.It’s time,I let you go,mum.
