The image displays a photograph of a printed page from a book, featuring a Bulgarian poem titled "Ноктюрно" (Nocturne). The text is presented in black serif font on a white page, with the first word of the poem, "Тази," beginning with a decorative initial capital 'Т'. The bottom right corner of the page includes the page number "(с. 154)", and below the main poem, a parenthetical note attributes the text to a cycle titled "(От цикъла За възрасти и времена)" (From the cycle For ages and times). The poem describes an introspective scene from the perspective of an unnamed male narrator, situated within a house in the center of Sofia, Bulgaria, as per the implied context and the text's reference to "центъра на града" (center of the city). The narrator details his physical and emotional state, describing his hands as "black" and his heart as "sweaty," comparing it to the aftermath of a "battle to oblivion with centipedes carved from smoke." He expresses uncertainty about whether he is loved or expected by others, referring to "bottles" and "a ship" as things "everything remained there." Within the immediate environment, a newspaper, discarded on a bed, reports on "diplomatic meetings," "research on the action of some serum," and a "brilliant victory in four sets." Externally, "a very tall forest" is depicted surrounding the house. The narrator also perceives the imminent death of a "blind man" nearby. His wife is described performing the action of going "down and up a small ladder," metaphorically likened to a "captain of a ship who does not trust the stars." The scene also includes a "glass of milk" and "papers" present. The time is noted as "eleven in the evening." The narrator concludes by perceiving "a multitude of horses" approaching the window located behind him.
