I was sweaty and tired and ugly when I arrived in the
village. I’d lost the habit of such long walks. Nobody
recognized me, maybe because it was a long time since
I’d left, but I guess it was more to do with the fact that
they were so absorbed with what they were doing, they

didn’t pay attention at all. It was exactly the same routine
as in my childhood, the same manners, gestures, the
exact same ritual, only the people were a new generation
and apart from a few old faces that seemed reminiscent
of something, I didn’t know anyone.
Tables and chairs upside down, people walking and
dancing barefoot, naked bodies shinning in the dark, with
myriads of little drops of viscous liquid onto their skin,
dripping along their shoulders, breast, legs. They were
holding hands, touching each other, rubbing each other,
talking to one another with such excitement, putting
fingers into one another’s body holes.
At the center of all this, placed in exactly the same area it
was when I was a kid, was the same big transparent jar
full of the product. They kept coming back to it, pouring
their hands into it, massaging their bodies and the
surrounding objects with it, offering it to the sky, the
concrete ground, the metal chairs and tables, the table
ware.
In my memories, people didn’t look so ferociously happy
and exhilarated. It was incredible to see these
expressions on people’s faces, distorted by joy. I sat and
smoked a cigarette, contemplating the scene as nobody
cared about my presence. And I felt the rush.
There was no way I could resist it, although I’d promised
myself I would not perform the ritual this time. But in
seconds my childhood and teenage years invaded my
body’s memory, like a flash. I pictured myself, age twelve,
covering myself with the transparent product as if it were

liquid gold, shouting at the stars, crying in the night,
dancing for hours and hours, until daylight and later.
I stood up, walked to the jar, took off my clothes and
covered the sweat of my body with another type of shiny
look- ing one. Chemical. Beautiful. Strong. I decided it
would just be for tonight. Tomorrow I would return where
I had come from. I would not do it again. Just this one
time.
