Dialogue in winter

one

Think of us at the end of winter

In my hometown hotel.

Avoid the cold

Outside the wet window

Winter disappears into a fixed scene in the distance.

Think of those white still animals in the snow.

The black ribbon is silent.

Seasonal cut-off

Think about the statue we finished together.

Has long since vanished into thin air.

In the bright and quiet sunshine

Any expectations?

Nothing happened.

The last drop of winter

Drip from the lips into the cup
