\"maua\"<\/a>Chumba ni kimya, lakini sio kimya. Naweza kusikia
\n mawazo ya Bwana Green na mkewe ambaye anatazama,
\n macho yalitazama maua katikati ya chumba,
\n na zile za dada watatu zinazobubujika na kumbukumbu za zamani zinazochanua,
\n ameketi kwenye benchi la mbao mbele yangu. Nasikia maneno yao
\n wakipiga kelele angani, wakitumbukiza kati ya viguzo kama ndege wa mwituni. <\/p>\n

Mwanamke mmoja anasimama na kukohoa chini kwenye koo lake;
\n uwepo wake, sasa umewekwa msingi, bado unaruhusu mawazo yake kuelea.
\n Amekuwa akipanda miti ya cherry, anasema kwa upole, kwa mengi
\n ng’ambo ya nyumba yake. Akikunja mikono yake, anataja kuoza;
\n anasema cherry miti ni vamizi na aina hii
\n kuwaua wengine wote ambao ardhi iliwahi kuwahimili. <\/p>\n

Mawazo yake ya nje yanachanganyika na mawazo ya ndani ambayo bado
\n kutetemeka, usiache kuvuma, ning’inia juu ya vichwa vyetu vyote, mwagika
\n juu ya madawati ya mbao na maua ambayo Bibi Green
\n Sitaacha kuangalia kwamba kukaa juu ya meza na kunikumbusha spring.<\/p>\n

Ninajiambia kufikiria juu ya kutofikiria
\n kama mwanamke anakuwa mfikiri wa ndani kwa mara nyingine tena.
\n Ninashika mawazo yangu; Ninawashikilia,
\n Natambua uwepo wao, siwakaribishi.
\n Ninawaambia hawawezi kukaa – sio sasa hivi. Kisha,
\n Nikawaacha waende zao. <\/p>\n

Niliacha mawazo yangu yachanganyike na mawazo ya Wajani
\n na dada na mwanamke wenye miti ya kuua.
\n Niliziacha zielee juu ya kichwa changu na kuruhusu akili yangu kuwa
\n Bure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
