The Winter Sun

Somehow in the spaces of time when you feel utterly lost,

from a sudden pause, a vacant week,

arrives empty

in your letterbox, post marked for today;

You will sit and listen more carefully to the sounds of people walking

down the staircase outside, then walking up, by you,

You will notice a song who used to be your midnight friend, playing

in the background, as you look up and finally

start noticing things too close,

like particles in air, that become visible only with the sun

the particles that encircle and dance

as you breathe.
