Estendre els llençols

Vaig pensar que, potser, si estenia els llençols i canviava les cortines, si deixava que la llum d'un nou dia m'escalfés les galtes i les esperances, aleshores i només a partir d'aquell moment, podria veure nous cims a l'horitzó i deixaria de recordar-te a base de núvols grisos i mig esborrats. Sembla que, de mica en mica, vaig obrint-les; les ales, les finestres, les forces, les ganes. I així, poc a poc, estenc els lligams del nou pont que he decidit teixir i, d'alguna curiosa manera, m'acomiado de tu en la distància mentre el vent gèlid d'aquest país se t'endu, junt amb les fulles que arranca dels arbres, tenyint-ho tot dels colors de la tardor.

________ in english (and probably much poorer version):

I thought that, maybe, if I cleared those sheets and changed the courtines, if I allowed the sunshine of a brand new day to warm my cheeks and hopes then, and only from that moment on, I would be able to discern new peaks in the far horizon and would I stop remembering you between those blurry grey clouds. As it seems, slowly but firmly, I'm opening them; the wings, the windows, the aims, the strenghts. And this way, little by little, I spread the bonds of this new bridge I decided to build and, somehow, I withdraw myself from you through the distance while the icy air of this country pulls you away from me, altogether with the falling leaves that have been teared apart from the trees, staining everything with the Autumn colours.
