At sunset when I had finished the housework I rode into town to meet my friends. We bought food and biked to a hillside overlooking the town and surrounding countryside.
We were swarmed by rain flies upon arrival and took refuge in a home nearby until the night came. Sitting in the home we ate our food with some of the family's sticky rice, and watched an Indian film with the family.
That night we slept under the stars on the hilltop. The moon drifted up and over the sky through smoke, and patches of clouds.
We saw the brightest stars in the sky, and I saw the triangle made by the three bright stars in Orion, the Big Dipper, and the Little Dog.
All night long the wind rushed around us on the hilltop, making a kind of music on the wires of a nearby antenna tower.
