Mist and fog,
Cough and cold,
Blanket and fires,
Badminton and shuttle cock.
Winter is of flowers,
Marigolds, dahlias,
Chrysanthemums, sunflowers,
Poppies, calendulas, actors,
Zinnias, peutinias, salvias.

on the ground,
breaking thin arms of twisting branches,
and then howls
on the north side of the Black Mesa
a deep, throaty laughter.
Because of him
we have to sell our cattle
that rake snow for stubble.
Having lived his whole life
in a few weeks,
slow and pensive he walks away,
dragging his silver-stream shield
down branches
and over the ground,
he keeps walking slowly away
into death
bravely.

Blood-sloshed floors,And guards count the deadWith the blink of an eyelid, then hurry homeTo supper and love, what saves usFrom going mad is to carry a vacant stareAnd a quiet half-dead dream.
