King's cross

No tengo demasiadas ganas de escribir, pero lo necesito. Estos días me han traído a la memoria el 11-M y la mañana frenética de llamadas sin respuesta a todos los móviles de mi familia. Fueron horas de angustia hasta que, por fin, supe que estaban todos bien. Esta vez no me ha tocado a mi, sino a Michelle. Su hermano Stephen está haciendo unas prácticas en PriceWaterhouseCoopers en Londres este verano, de junio a septiembre y se aloja en casa de unos primos en King's Cross. Llevamos sin noticias ni de él ni de los primos de Michelle desde el día del atentado. No responden ni en casa ni en los móviles. Michelle y sus padres han salido hoy para Londres. Yo me iré el martes o el miércoles si no hay novedades.

Deambulo por la casa y solamente puedo beber agua. No me entra la comida y tengo ganas de llorar. En mi CD, se escucha una y otra vez la canción de Pet Shop Boys que, trágicamente, se adapta tan bien a las circunstancias...


The man at the back of the queue was sent
To feel the smack of firm government
Linger by the flyposter, for a fight
It's the same story every night
I've been hurt and we've been had
You leave home, and you don't go back
Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday
Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way
Read it in a book or write it in a letter
Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee
Only last night I found myself lost
By the station called King's Cross
Dead and wounded on either side
You know it's only a matter of time
I've been good and I've been bad
I've been guilty of hanging around
Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday
Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way
Read it in a book or write it in a letter
Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee
So I went looking out today
For the one who got away
Murder walking round the block
Ending up in King's Cross
Good luck, bad luck waiting in a line
It takes more than the matter of time
Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday
Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way
Read it in a book or write it in a letter
Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee
Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday
Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way
Read it in a book or write it in a letter
Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee
And there's still no guarantee
There is still no guarantee.


Por todos los que han perdido a alguien en los atentados de Londres.
