• Snowfall
    And wafts outside, beyond the steamed glass,
    beyond the thick mist of snowflakes,
    the leaden sky, and it spreads tentative
    upon the cold pearly vault.

    Curls of white that unheard knock
    On the transparent walls of the world,
    painting weir dancing landscapes
    on the softened shaped they wrap.

    Snow, pale messenger, guardian
    of the secrets of a time long ago
    or maybe of a different universe,
    written inside silence’s muffled voice.
