Fall
Isekelwe (ngokukhululekile) kumicimbi yangempela ...
Kunomzuzwana sekwephuzile ekwindla, lapho iningi lamaqabunga liwile emagatsheni awo futhi lilenga eceleni kwendlela noma emseleni wamanzi, kwenye indawo — ebukeka yomile, ishubile, futhi inesithukuthezi — lapho ubona ukuthi ukuwa kuvale umnyango ngempela futhi elinye ihlobo. Futhi maqondana nezinkathi zaminyaka yonke, lowo ngumzuzu wenguquko… hhayi ngenxa yalokho okushiwo ikhalenda noma ngenxa yokuthi umhlaba utsheka noma uzungeza ngendlela ethile, kodwa ngoba inhliziyo yakho iyazi ukuthi zonke izinhlelo zentwasahlobo seziyizinkumbulo noma zigejwe ngenye indlela. Futhi umsele awucishe ube yinhle enkulu, yeqabunga, njengegatsha eliqhakazile lesihlahla sikakotini.
Kukhona futhi umzuzwana lapho uhleli esihlalweni kwaFantastic Sam's, bese ubheka izinwele ezigundiwe eziwela ethangeni lakho uzizwe sengathi kufanele kube ngezomunye umuntu — ngoba ayikho indlela ikhanda lakho elibambe ngayo imicu eminingi empunga. Futhi maqondana nezinkathi zempilo, leso yisikhathi senguquko… hhayi ngenxa yenani lamakhandlela asekhekheni noma ukuthi imilenze emingaki egijinywe ilanga, kodwa ngoba intsha manje isibonakalisa kakhulu kuneqiniso, futhi izinkumbulo eziningi azikho zenziwe, mhlawumbe, ngenye indlela ezingabanjwanga.
Ngakho-ke, ngahlala ebhentshini elingekude namaqabunga awile, isibhakabhaka esibuhlungu esilenga phansi ngozipho lwangoNovemba, ngicabanga ngoboya obumpunga emathangeni ami kusukela ekuseni ngalolo suku kanye nomzila ongathathwanga empilweni yami, kanye, eminyakeni eminingi edlule. Labo bahlala bephelele njalo, imizila engathathwanga, ngoba abakaze babe nethuba lokuba ngaphansi-futhi ukubonakaliswa kuvame ukuthandana kakhulu kuneqiniso. Akukhona ukuthi ngazizwa sengimdala okwamanje; kodwa angibange ngisazizwa ngisemncane. Kwenye indawo, i-equinox yempilo yami yayingenise isizini entsha; futhi umoya wasekwindla wasiphusha emakhazeni esihlathini sami.
Ihlobo ukuwa inguquko eshisayo ezikhathini zethu, ngoba ingcoliswe kakhulu ngombono kunanoma iyiphi enye. Alukho uhlu olwake lwaqedwa ehlobo; ubusika buhlala buza masinyane; futhi kufakwe phakathi kukhona ama-palettes akhazimulayo kanye nezihlahla ezijulile eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ezihlahla ezibhekene namasonto ambalwa esibhakabhaka santambama. Lapho-ke amaqabunga awa, isibhakabhaka siyawa, nomoya ohelezayo — owake wafudumala esikhunjeni — uba oluma kakhulu kunokumema. Kungumuntu kuphela ukuzwa ukudabuka emaqabungeni awile futhi uzibuze ukuthi izinwele zikabani eziye zaba mpunga ezinyaweni zakho. Kungumuntu kuphela ukufisela isikhathi esithe xaxa uma kuqhathaniswa nezinkathi zonyaka. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngezwa ukuthi kunezinto eziningi engingasoze ngazenza, kunezinto engingaze ngizenze.
Kwabe sekwenzeka into emangalisayo. Imoto idlule ngesivinini, eduze komgwaqo, futhi njengoba yenzile, amaqabunga kumsele abamba ukuvuka kwawo. Bakhala njengezingane ku-roller coaster bagibela umoya besuka kunqenqema bangena emoyeni, lapho babamba khona umoya omkhulu, owabaphakamisela phezulu kakhulu, ngaphandle komgwaqo nangaphezulu kophahla, waya endaweni entsha , uhambo olwaluphakeme futhi lushukumisa. Futhi ngabona ukuthi isizini yabo yayingakapheli. Kwakunjalo, ngezindlela eziningi kakhulu, ukuqala nje; nezindawo ababengazibona kuphela egatsheni labo emasontweni ambalwa edlule zaba yizindawo nezikhathi abagijimela kuzo. Umoya opholile wawungasazizwa ubanda kangako esihlathini sami; kwaqubuka ngokunokwenzeka, futhi ngaphakanyiswa.
Futhi noma nginesiqiniseko esingu-98% ukuthi konke bekungumcabango wami, ngizokugcina lokhu njengengxenye yenkumbulo yami, noma kunjalo. Ngithe ngisamile ngihamba, kwakukhona enye imoto, esinye isifuba, nelinye iqembu lamaqabunga likhululiwe emoyeni. Basukuma badansa bajabula ngokujabula; kwathi lapho owokugcina eqenjini efika phezulu emoyeni ondlayo, wama isikhashana — wamiswa ngesikhathi nasesikhaleni — wajika, wanginika ukucwayiza okusheshayo nokumomotheka… ngaphambi kokugibela umoya oya endaweni ekude kuphela inkathi edlule yayingakaze ibe yichashazi eliseduze.
Izinkathi zonyaka kufanele zigwetshwe. Sizalelwe ukugibela umoya.
