I want to bid farewell to the friends in Madrid I never met The men and women and youths who slept next to me in the hostel I never visited To the comfort I found when those strangers knit me into the patchwork quilt of their souls And there, I slid into place. I want to thank the cook for making the paellas that never touched my tongue The bartender for mixing the sangria that they but never I drank I want to bid farewell to the man who taught me to tango as if I’d been there I want to wave to the tourists with their cameras shielded against Spain’s loud sun, because they, in a way, could have been me but I, never them. I want to send a letter to my brother and his wife Tell them their house in Memphis was beautiful though I’ve never seen it I want to engrave in pen the memories I never made, describing Tennessee’s fifth season in the flavors of barbeque and blues and bourbon. I want to write an author’s acknowledgment to embed in the book I’ll never publish Thanking the editor I’ll never meet, the agent I never begged to take me on Instead, I give thanks to a kind husband and a house that jails me. I give love to the kids I didn’t want but who are very real. I make way for the family vacations to Disney World. I push and pull a fighting Madrid into her timeout corner, where her sun doesn’t blind us. If only Madrid could know the way I love them, which is enough to sacrifice my dreams for theirs, then maybe she wouldn’t beat against the cage of my soul where a family of four silhouettes shield themselves from her sunny streets and sparkling nights, with raised hands saying, "It’s too loud for us here."

A farewell to the places I yearn to go but never will

I experienced the vicissitudes of Asia Blue blood of Europe The aboriginality of Africa And the mysteries of America I soaked my feet in the water of the nameless rivers I moistened by the waves of bays, the seas and the oceans The sapphire of the blue Nile won my heart I splashed the cold waters of the Mare Darling on my face I was astounded to see the orange river,the lake Titicaca, Victoria and Niagara falls I saw the radiance of the icy Himalaya in the bright sunlight I was completely spellbound by the splendour of the Olympus and the Kilimanjaro During the day in a desert my feet got burnt by the heat of the sand I stared at a handsome horseman dressed in black in a wonderful starry night I glanced at the seven wonders and the world heritage I was hypnotized by the skyscrapers in the mega city The tidy countrysides which were green with crops and vegetation brought peace to my mind I enjoyed the companionship of Eskimos,penguins ,seals and polar bears in the polar region Aurora borealis and aurora australis fascinated me In orbit the annual motion around the sun and the diurnal rotation of the earth on its axis I'm travelling around the world I do not have my own home The whole globe is my motherland

I am lovely, a lover, and loved. It’s something that won’t ever be can’t be taken from me because I have known humanity in every corner, in every age, and they all are so eager to love and be loved that my Mariana Trench heart is always full.
