What Can I Hold You With?
I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the moon of the jagged suburbs.
——By Jorges Luis Borges
I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked long and long at the lonely moon.
I offer you my ancestors, my dead man, the ghosts that living men have honoured in marble:
my father’s father killed in the frontier of Buenos Aires, two bullets through his lungs, bearded and dead, wrapped by his soldiers in the hide of a cow;
my mother’s grandfather – just twentyfour – heading a charge of three hundred men in Perú, now ghosts on vanished horses.
I offer you whatever insight my books may hold, whatever manliness or humour my life.
