Toen ik zei dat ik mijn broer en zus had uitgenodigd om kerstavond bij ons te vieren
(we zaten in de keuken aan de middagpost en je zag de hijskranen en schepen achter de laatste daken van Ajuda)
schepte Lena mijn bord vol met rook, verdween in de rook en tijdens dat verdwijnen besloeg haar stem de ruiten voor die ook verdwenen
'Je hebt al vijftien jaar geen contact meer met ze'
