An abandoned beauty

A beautiful woman lives alone in a secluded valley in a leaking cottage. Her husband left her for a younger woman, and her brothers were killed in the war. Nobody notices if you suffer hard times; when everything changes, it’s lost in the noise. Waters are muddy in the lowlands, while springs in the mountains are clear. She picks flowers and cypress leaves to stay busy, not to beautify her home. The air is cold and her gown is thin. As the sun sets, we see her leaning by her door.
