Chimera tail

In the frozen time sounds propagate better,
a message is falling from nearby trees like yellow letter
and telling deaths of people of a similar age as me -
they often were strong and hard like oak tree.
Teachers and gurus, writers and singers
who taught me how to be evergreen in the dead of winter.

I'd like "to arrive as late as possible,
and possibly never to arrive".*
Travelling in spite of the pain is incredible,
I have cold feet and cold hands but I'm alive.

Fear froze on my cold as ice face,
I know, time and snow will cover my trace.


*A quote by Claudio Magris
