I have never felt so warm As in the months of winter. There is Something more substantial in the crispness Of the air and the dryness Of the trees, something that provokes My deepest sympathy. As children We walked through the streets after dark Watching the drunkards sweep The sidewalks with their sleeves. We were not afraid of darkness Or of shadow, But only The silence of our sleep And the awkwardness of dreams.
