Strange Inn of Arrival

The poem sketches a brief, eerie scene: a strange inn where an unfamiliar traveler and spectral attendants appear. The speaker asks who runs the place and where ordinary comforts are, creating a sense of dislocation and unease. The questions and images imply an encounter with a liminal, possibly supernatural realm rather than a literal lodging, leaving the nature of the visitor and the establishment ambiguous and unsettling.
