She had to be reminded to eat, she was that sort,’ he said, and put the stick back in his mouth. She’d go off to the back of the house and paint and paint. Kazi shook his head, taking the stick out of his mouth. Kazi chopped onions holding a wooden stick between his teeth so he wouldn’t cry. As soon as they broke under the weight of the pestle, I smelled the warm, soapy scent of them. This afternoon, I used his mortar and pestle to grind coriander seeds, first crushing them as hard as I could, then twisting the pestle in circles to flatten them and make them into a powder. I hardly ask him to tell me about you, though, because I’m afraid that the stories might run out. ![]() ![]() Kazi tells me stories about you once in a while. There’s something there that - there’s a tremendous hatred there. ![]()
