Taken a Day Before Part 2 of 2
Again now together with you I saw the dove again and it whispered to both of us that we should put the three branches together and place our nest within them. We asked a question as to why and the answer that we got was that: yesterday it rained, and the river was full and any of the branches might be washed if it was to stand alone and therefore it was better if all of them were tied together, but you disagreed with the dove.
Again, you reasoned by saying there was no need because we had iron stilts and you again thinly-veiled told the dove that our plan was to have our first born. I remember the dove telling you that I had missed my stick in Ncandu River and you said that was water under the bridge and you did not ask me if I had accepted that my third race was not a closed chapter and I always remember it.
Again, we then built our nest around the L-shaped branch. It rained. It stormed. And the river became full. I visited the Ncandu River to search for my old stick when you found out about this our son had a short breath. I begged you to oxygenate him but you could not because the oxygen tubes were with your sister and its tapes were with my brother.
Again, I request you to remember what the dove told us (the conjunction in that message) I beg let’s try it again and apply a different formula as the one that you proposed could not work and you didn’t listen to what I told you and this time I promise you that if you call your sister and I bring my brother the oxygen that is needed by our son will be fulfilled.
Again, tomorrow is another day as yesterday was the previous day.
