Boulevard de la Villette, Paris 10\u1d49, le 2 octobre 2018<\/strong>

Je regarde devant moi sans vraiment regarder. Je me r\u00e9p\u00e8te que ma retraite est petite et qu\u2019il faut compter, mesurer, faire durer chaque chose. Je n\u2019ai pas honte, je m\u2019en sors avec ce que j\u2019ai, j\u2019ai toujours appris \u00e0 me d\u00e9brouiller, \u00e0 me contenter aussi. Je vais faire le march\u00e9 \u00e0 Belleville, le mardi et le vendredi. Je garde les tickets de caisse dans une bo\u00eete en fer. On m\u2019a toujours appel\u00e9 \u201cle petit\u201d. \u00c0 soixante-dix ans, \u00e7a ne change plus rien. Mes cheveux ont blanchi depuis longtemps, le sommet de mon cr\u00e2ne s\u2019est d\u00e9garni, j\u2019ai appris \u00e0 ne plus y penser. Je sens le vent d\u2019octobre, je baisse un peu la t\u00eate, je ne veux pas trop attirer l\u2019attention ni me faire remarquer. J\u2019ai toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 discret, timide, c\u2019est ma nature. Pourtant, quand je rencontre dans le quartier un ancien du pays, nous parlons longtemps,comme si le temps n\u2019avait pas pass\u00e9. Mon accent, je ne l\u2019ai jamais perdu. Ma foi m\u2019accompagne, c\u2019est un soutien. Je n\u2019ai pas beaucoup de photos de moi jeune. Je ferme parfois les yeux pour laisser venir les images, et je revois Tunis. Les rues poussi\u00e9reuses de mon enfance. J\u2019entends mon p\u00e8re me parler d\u2019avenir. Je me souviens de mon m\u00e9tier de couvreur, les journ\u00e9es longues, les soirs o\u00f9 je rentrais bris\u00e9 du travail. Je n\u2019ai pas oubli\u00e9 la fatigue, elle est encore l\u00e0 dans mon dos, dans mes mains, dans ma respiration, mais je n\u2019en veux \u00e0 personne. Je souris en voyant passer un pigeon qui s\u2019approche du banc, avec sa d\u00e9marche claudicante. Je me dis que ce sont ces petites choses qui me tiennent encore. Je marche doucement, comme si chaque pas pouvait me rappeler une \u00e9preuve. Je ne parle pas beaucoup, je garde mes pens\u00e9es en moi, mais parfois je voudrais qu\u2019on les entende, qu\u2019on sache que j\u2019existe, que j\u2019ai tenu malgr\u00e9 tout ce que j\u2019ai travers\u00e9. Je sens encore dans mes gestes une maladresse d\u2019enfant, une mani\u00e8re de m\u2019asseoir trop raide, une fa\u00e7on de baisser les yeux, une retenue qui ne m\u2019a jamais quitt\u00e9, et pourtant je sais que j\u2019ai vieilli, je le vois bien dans les reflets des vitrines des commer\u00e7ants, mes cheveux gris, mon allure un peu vo\u00fbt\u00e9e, mais au fond de moi je reste le m\u00eame, je garde cet \u00e9clat fragile qui ne m\u2019a jamais quitt\u00e9. J\u2019ai encore en moi cette na\u00efvet\u00e9 dont se moquait gentiment ma m\u00e8re, une mani\u00e8re de regarder le monde avec des yeux un peu \u00e9tonn\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
