Tonight Winter Startled

Tonight winter startled

It came unexpectedly

Few people walked 

Below the gleam moon

Shivering beneath their fur coat

I stood trying to figure 

A black contorted portrait 

Drawed from the yellow dim lamp

On a cold brown dune

Which I stared

As they passed

Waving a friendly gesture

Greeting me with unknown tongue

Still I am naive

Longed for each nostalgic sweet sound of 

My homestead, thus this cold 

Consume my certain pause

Not far from the clustered bush

Also do heared a lone bird lark

My sigh and the whisper on that shade

Gone howling with desert breath
