THE RICE MOTHER; A NOVEL
by |
|
“Flowers grow beneath her feet, but she is not dead at all. The years have not diminished the Rice Mother. I see her, fierce and magical. Stop despairing and call to her, and you will see, she will come bearing a rainbow of dreams.”
― The Rice Mother
― The Rice Mother
“How not to miss those days when the sun was a happy companion that stayed to play all year round and kissed me a careless nut brown? When Mother caught the sweet rain in her well behind the house, and the air was so clear that the grass smelled green?”

“Майка ми седеше край него ден и нощ. Понякога го гълчеше, понякога му пееше песни, които никога не бях я чувала да пее. Може би все пак тя го обичаше. Вероятно по природа си беше такава � като настръхнала. И сега си я представям � дребна фигурка, седнала край леглото, върху което се очертава тялото на татко, заобиколен от вечерните сенки. Облегната на рамката на вратата, подпряла петата на левия крак на прасеца на десния, я слушах като захласната как пее песни, които не знаех, че е скътала в себе си. Спомням си, тогава ми хрумна, че мама е като океан. Дълбока и пълна с неизвестни неща. Дори се боях, че никога нямаше да стигна до дъното му. Искаше ми се да съм ручей, който някой ден щеше да прерасне в река и някога да се влее в океана.”
