The snow on Antique streets

The snow fell again last night covering that which had been tainted.
But I know it was not removed but just concealed.
Before the advent of Spring, the bared surface would show its sooty sorrow.

I see you stumbling on Bleecker street, like a senile dog, showing no pity or sympathy.
Your weakened eyes staring at a window displaying antiquated quilts,
Fathoming the eternity in its cut and quilted pieces of color.
I know there is nothing to be found in this bustling street anymore.
Life now devoid of rapture, but I have no regrets about or returning to my misspent youth when I used to believe a covering was a lie.

The hunter lives for hunting, 
but ain't I lucky
I no longer need it!

This morning was overlaid with foreboding silence.
I felt the uneasiness,
Then my finger touched your sleepy dry lip.
You awoke, smiling and said;
" I did the same thing to you in the middle of the night."
We shared a laugh, a still newborn laugh.
Then we prayed without knowing what for,  'cause we had being doing it for so long.

Does everyone call the place beyond your reach
a death?
Can people define OLD or NEW?
All our worries accumulate in the void of the future,
We will then also be wrapped in the snowy-white, happily disappearing from here.

Snow falling on Antique streets,
Snow falling on your hair,
thin shinning silver strings.
