Czekam jej, jak co dzień. Czy wróci? Myślę o wieczorze rozstania, o trzasku drzwi, które zawarła w gniewie, o milczeniu, które zaległo w mej duszy. Czekam jej, jak co dzień. Czy wróci? Weszłaby, mówiąc, by coś rzec: "Mijałam twój dom i przychodzę spojrzeć, czy róże nie ucierpiały od zimy." Potem uśmiechnęłaby się do mego ogródka, do spokojnego widnokręgu i wiem, że nie odeszłaby już.
