Darkness fell quickly.
I sat down and leaned against
the window of the train carriage.
While I watched the lights of
the outside world moving swiftly
in the window glass, memories
also flickered past.

When I sat down,
I remembered journeys —
Journeys by boat (sun loungers
on the deck ), journeys by train
(first class, rarely ), journeys by
bus ( bumpy ), memories of
beautiful chairs, uncomfortable,
old chairs, chairs that tell long
stories even when we do not own
them. Furniture makes history,
tells tales of the landscape of its
origin, of transitions and
displacements from one country
to another, from the attic to
the salon; tales of generations
changing, of tired, exhausted
people, of people coming
home. Whoever owns a piece of
furniture also continues to
write its story — and who knows
if the furniture writes part of
our own story in turn?
