LET’S CROSS THE ACHERON

This is the end. Sarah’s sleeping quietly next to me, smiling as a sick child would do.
She has two red holes on the right side.
We won’t have had the world we were looking for…
But they never succeeded in submitting those they needed to hate.
The Australian military junta holds us at gunpoint now.
The terms of their contract are clear :

- Either we accept to end up quarantined in Nauru

- Or we'll be kicking the holy bucket, filled with sea waters, under the Indian Ocean.

Resting now on my lap, Sarah’s face reminds me how so clear the terms of our own deal are now, clearer than they have ever been before… They’ll never succeed in submitting those they needed to hate.


LET’S CROSS THE ACHERON

Tout est fini. Sarah dort paisiblement à coté de moi,
souriant comme sourirait un enfant malade.
Elle a deux trous rouges au côté droit.
On n’aura pas eu le monde que nous voulions…
Mais jamais ils n’auront réussi à soumettre ceux qu’ils avaient eu besoin de haïr.
La junte militaire australienne nous tient maintenant en joue.
Les termes de son contrat sont clairs :

_ Soit nous acceptons de finir en quarantaine sur Nauru

_ Soit nous mangerons l’Ostie par la racine dans les eaux indiennes

Reposant maintenant sur mes genoux, le visage de Sarah me rappelle à quel point les termes du nôtre ne l’ont jamais autant été… et que jamais ils ne réussiront à soumettre ceux qu’ils avaient eu besoin de haïr.
