Boxes

31 July 2022 · Home

The kitchen is in boxes. The kettle is on top of the last one, with the cups inside it, wrapped in Dastan's shirts. Erkin's mother came with a jar of jangak paste and a loaf of bread, and she sat on our empty bench and said, "A person leaves a house but the house does not leave a person." I do not know if it is a proverb. It is now.

The lane is full of people saying goodbye with small things: eggs, a scarf, a coin "for the road."

Neighbour, my mother made the speech. I only carried the jar. The lane will be quiet without Aruuke's singing.
