KILLING US translation: John Irons A postcard: palm trees, bright-coloured houses, sun & sea. On the back: my father has received the last rites and we are just waiting for his final moment/breath. The waiting is killing us. An e-mail: father has departed this life. After a protracted illness he passed away yesterday at the nursing home. He will be interred around next Saturday, etc. I only knew him from a photo with your mother where I tried to recognize your features in him. We had him framed in a shop where we got a discount. When you returned to the land of your birth I got completely stoned. Now language leaves me in the lurch. Where are you, comforting word?
