The old inn
the old building
with an antique sign
revealing its name
"the old lodge"
on the outside
walls built
with brown bars
and white squares
almost faded words
revealing an existence
over four centuries
inside
wooden floors are crooked
walls are skewed
the steps of the stairs
create dizziness
a room door clamps
the small window
opens squeaked
the fresh evening air
dispels the musty smell
downstairs again
the lady of the house
so sweet
hot coffee
a large pot
and for free
a burning candle
on the table
two tired travelers
embraced
by hospitality
