We stand at the source, the plane tree and I. Our images reflect off the river. The water-dazzle lights up the plane tree and me.

We stand at the source, the plane tree, me, and the cat. Our images reflect off the river. The water-dazzle lights up the plane tree, me, and the cat.

We stand at the source, the plane tree, me, the cat, and the sun. Our images reflect off the river. The water-dazzle lights up the plane tree, me, the cat, and the sun.

We stand at the source, the plane tree, me, the cat, the sun, and our lives. Our images reflect off the river. The water-dazzle lights up the plane tree, me, the cat, the sun, and our lives.

We stand at the source. The cat will be the first to go, its image in the water will dissolve. Then I will go, my image in the water will dissolve. Then the plane tree will go, its image in the water will dissolve. Then the river will go, the sun alone remaining, and then it, too, will go.
