“When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town.”

A red finger dips into your forehead
Blue flakes sink into the bare room,
These are the dead mirrors of lovers.”
