Carry Me Back to Mother's Home A Dream of Love and Loss
A long, fragmentary reminiscence captures a weary narrator recalling a youth’s wandering from a mountain home, a late-night longing to return to a mother’s cottage, and a chained memory of romance and betrayal told in a period newspaper voice. The text shifts to an obituary note and a moral tale about a broken heart wife, plus assorted items and quips from the era.
