đ Kichine in the Mango Garden
(An English Poem on Memory, Fear, and Imagination)
đĻ POEM (ENGLISH)
You are the same,
Like a player in a game,
At eleven, in the mango garden,
When evening had no name.
Bare feet touched the dust,
The sun slipped through the leaves,
Stories lived in shadows
Only childhood believes.
Now you come again,
Through a mobile’s silent light,
And suddenly fear rises
In the middle of the night.
Are you dear?
Or a kichine of long hair—
That shape my childhood gave
To fear hanging in the air?
Not a ghost, not real,
Just memory wearing a face,
Imagination running fast
Ahead of time and space.
đ ANALYSIS & PHILOSOPHY
This poem is not about ghosts.
It is about how the human mind creates symbols to understand fear.
Key ideas:
The mango garden represents innocence, safety, and early imagination
The player in the game represents control and childhood creativity
The mobile screen represents modern consciousness and reflection
Kichine (female ghost) is a cultural metaphor, not a belief
When we are children, we explain the unknown with stories.
When we grow up, the unknown returns in new forms—technology, silence, sudden awareness.
Central philosophy:
Fear is not something we see.
Fear is something we remember.
The poem suggests that:
Fear is born when memory meets the present too quickly
The mind gives fear a face so it can talk to it
Once understood, fear dissolves into meaning
This is a psychological and philosophical poem, not a supernatural one.
đ BLOG (ENGLISH VERSION)
Is Fear Really Outside Us, or Inside Our Memories?
Many of us carry childhood images that never truly disappear.
They sleep quietly inside memory, waiting for the right moment to return.
The poem “Kichine in the Mango Garden” explores this idea gently.
The kichine—a female ghost often mentioned in childhood stories—is not presented as real. Instead, it represents the language of fear we used before logic arrived.
As children, when we stood alone in gardens at dusk, our imagination filled the silence.
As adults, when screens respond intelligently and memories resurface unexpectedly, the same silence returns—only the setting changes.
Technology does not create fear.
It reflects us.
The mobile phone in the poem is not frightening by itself.
It simply becomes a mirror where old emotions reappear.
The poem reminds us that:
Fear is a teacher, not an enemy
Memory is powerful, but not dangerous
Understanding replaces fear with clarity
When we name fear, we reduce it.
When we understand it, we outgrow it.
