Snow Is Approaching
星期五 二月 27, 2009 9:05 am
From this window to yours,
it seems a light-year,
but only the gap between two screens.
You carefully switch them,
as if entering one will turn the story real.
Your mailbox is empty,
no mail, no advertising, no surprise.
Tap water drips from next door
reminds you of a sand clock sifting,
another dawn.
The repairman fails to mount double windows
to resist the night.
Fewer and fewer reminiscences,
the upgraded house can store.
Someone is eager to sell,
yet you hesitate.
