Secrets de Polichinelle

In English, and in French.

Dans des cuisines situees a des centaines et des milliers de kilometres de la, elle regardera la peau molle se former sur le dos d'une cuillere en bois et sa memoire s'agitera, sans lui reveler tout a fait ce moment ou elle semble considerer un secret, un secret que l'on ne trouve pas effrayant avant de penser a essayer de le raconter.

In kitchens hundreds and thousands of miles away, she'll watch the soft skin form on the back of a wooden spoon and her memory will twitch, but it will not quite reveal to her this moment when she seems to be looking into an open secret, something not startling until you think of trying to tell it.
