Ensam i värdshuset sitter jag instängd med min sorg. Under den kalla lampan drömmer jag om det förgångna, medan en vilseflugen vildgås håller mig vaken. Väckt i gruningen av en töcknig dröm läser jag en årsgammal hälsning från hemmet och minnes månen lik en rök på floden och en fiskarbåt förtöjd tätt till min dörr.
