outside with its white brush painting
the rooftops. Squirrels here and there-
trembling in suspense.
And there is a scream from an indefinable
source. No dogs about, just leashes carelessly
discarded in backyards. Windows – two
eyes – closed, with lowered blinds.
And you are searching for the map in
your head, thinking: “Where am I?”
Listening to the repulsive sound of the winter
sucking at the bones of the trees.
