a m. adormece a cantar para ela própria, está com as mãos nos pés e vai cantando, ou marcando o ritmo na barriga com os dedos, ou ainda com a fralda naquele pedaço de pele no pescoço do mais macio que já vi. fica a cantar para ela própria até adormecer, ou vai dizendo baixinho os nomes das personagens da história que ouviu antes de dormir. hoje era "petar pan", "perdidos" e "capitão gancho", às vezes "sininho". a c. dorme muito encostada à parede, toda enrolada nos lençois até acima, apesar do calor. fica uma madeixa de cabelo espetada a espreitar cá para fora. tem 3 peluches ao lado. já deve estar a domir, apesar do concerto. hoje, e por ser dia de sobrinhos, tenho saudades do menino a quem esta noite não dei um beijinho depois de adormecer, junto à parede também (deve ser da idade).
dear Sophia, it's really late. I've just arrived home after a dinner at my grandma's house. she's still so special. everyone ate a lot, we talked about old friends, ourselves when we were growing up. there are always stories about africa. we are all so linked there, so many miles away and yet. we talked about you, alexis and darril. and also about the bulldogs that my uncle used to have and were pretty awfull and scary. I was really afraid of them, but one day I grabbed a horn and chased them trough the garden until they were crying with the noise. never bothered me again. we also mentioned cape town and pretoria, your house, your family, I remember you so dearly it's hard to say. you were my friend and were a bit like me. you thaught me english and had the patiente enough to hear me reading, laughing out loud in a bed full of animals and pillows that we throwed until they reached the ceiling, you knew the piano but hated it. you knew everybody and everything so wel
