…called to the back yard
Pahn sees Athehna
with Yaohwa
and stops to listen to them
They are speaking
clearly discernable
they are exchanging information
Pahn is feeling left out
having missed already
the gossip
and now watching Yaohwa
by chance
Pahn is genuinely jealous
He listens in the knowledge
that he has this same
communicative sense
and gathers from the air
Yaohwa leaves
And Pahn takes her aside to ask
“Are you saying
That you are pregnant?”
She nods
and the two of them go inside
He speaks to her for a while
trying to determine
if he should stay for her
or if she’d rather he left
He can barely feel their separateness
in the open room
but in the passing moments
they find a time to pull their minds
…and Pahn is outside again
Ahbnoba comes
and asks Pahn to turn off the sprinklers
so that her guests
will not get wet
Pahn goes around front
with Eeunks and Daphnis
to show them how it is done
He is perplexed
that Yaohwa is running sprinklers
in the winter
Trying the first valve
The water comes on around him
and he is soaked…
