(kwa kila kitu, asante)<\/p>\n

Asante kwa maneno ambayo baba yangu alizungumza kabla hajafa.
\n Asante kwa faraja yake katika saa za mwisho,
\n kwa macho yake thabiti na ya wazi, kwa mikono yake inayojulikana zaidi kuliko yangu mwenyewe.
\n Asante kwa kukusanya damu kwa upole chini ya ngozi yake
\n na kwa ajili ya vipande vya barafu niliweka katikati ya midomo yake wakati tulifikiri alihisi kiu.<\/p>\n

Asante kwa hofu na kuchanganyikiwa kwa mama yangu
\n kwa kuniita ”Mildred” mwishoni.
\n Kwa kuwa na Phillies kuwakaribisha Marlins jioni ya tarehe 7 Juni
\n Sisi wawili tukiwa tumekaa pamoja kwenye kitanda cha hospitali
\n Harry Kalas akicheza kwa kucheza.<\/p>\n

Asante kwa kifo cha mapema cha dada yangu Gail akiwa na umri wa miaka 47
\n kwa mumewe, Yohana, akitimiza ahadi yake,
\n wakidai wasimfufue
\n akinyoosha mwili wake juu ya meza ya chumba cha dharura.
\n utulivu wa ghafla. Tone moja la damu kwenye mdomo wake. <\/p>\n

Asante kwa nyota ya shoo ya wiki iliyopita iliyotanda katika anga ya ufuo.
\n Asante kwa zinnia moja nyekundu iliyofunguliwa nikiwa mbali,
\n na kwa jirani yangu, Adele, kukosa treni yake asubuhi ya leo
\n kutokea mlangoni kwangu, nikihitaji safari ya kwenda kazini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
