Oče in večer
Vsak večer je oče sedel k peči in si pripravil Houjicho. »To ni čaj za zjutraj,« je rekel. »To je čaj za zapiranje dneva.« Bil je preprost človek, malo besed, a vsaka tehtna. Spomnim se, da sem enkrat skrivaj poskusil ta praženi čaj. Bil je topel, skoraj dimljen, kot les, ki si ga nekoč poznal. Zdaj, ko imam otroke, pripravljam isti čaj ob isti uri. In pustim, da me kdaj pa kdaj kdo opazuje.
