The night was not dark enough to hide what lay on the lawn outside: a shapeless mound of ashes, pale gray in the moonlight, gray as moth wings, gray as burnt paper.
Die Nacht war nicht dunkel genug, um zu verbergen, was da draußen auf dem Rasen lag: ein formloser Aschehügel, weißlich grau im Mondlicht, grau wie Mottenflügel, grau wie verbranntes Papier.

Wenn es dann am nächsten Morgen Zeit zum Weiterziehen wurde, warfen sie die Faustkeile einfach weg und ließen die Werkzeuge in dem Abfallhaufen liegen, den sie bei ihrer Fertigung erzeugt hatten.
