Am I to hear
the echo
whenever I call,
forget the thought
...
The well had dried
the bucket came up empty
and we had travelled far
meeting neither beast
...

to go back on foot

taking me home
...
The tree spoke.
It showed me its name
from which I took
a single letter
...
Now as I pass on the road
I see the one night fastened
to its day. I speak
