"Pikirannya hadir karena dia selalu pergi. Tangannya terisi karena mereka memahami arti kosong. Hidup itu sederhana. Suaminya kembali dan dia melayani dengan sabar saat ini.

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Her mind was present because she was always gone. Her hands were filled because they grasped the meaning of empty. Life was simple. Her husband returned and she served him with indifferent patience this time. When he asked what had happened to her heat for him, she gestured to the west. The sun was setting. The sky was a body of fire.
