A single man...

With tenderness he smelled the top of the little dog´s head; buttered toast, he said. And this act of smelling concentrated all the love, all the sadness, all the loneliness. For some seconds he filled himself with the life that was not anymore.

 Con suavidad olio la cabeza del pequeño perro; tostada con mantequilla, dijo. Y este acto de oler concentro todo el amor, la tristeza, la soledad. Por unos segundos aspiro la vida como ya no era.
