Transient

Blow north wind

Freeze my blood, lock my bones

Stop my heartbeats. My eyelash

Shall not flap, the raven black eyeballs

Shall be trapped in transitory vision

Quiver not lips.

Blow north wind.

Your gust drove away my slumber,

Pushed away my anonymity

From cobwebs as I died of arctic brutality,

Unknown and unseen, away from the hearth,

Fire eluded the ice inside.

I was dying, slowly and unquestionably.

The spectra blurred. The luminosity

Of eagerness of wait dimmed casually.

Summer came.

Oh summer was late in my garden!
