Snow

Trzeba teraz w snieg uwierzyc? -Boleslaw Lesmian We wake, and pull the curtains back. Once more the world is black-and-white (or white-and-black). "How can all change overnight?" (you ask me) "How?" I answer (and I fear I'm right): "It's snow we must belive in now." A father and his son, we walk. You take my hand, warm in a glove. Our footsteps creak. How can they, on such soft stuff? (you wonder) How? I wonder too and if, my love, it's snow we must believe in now? Travelling at the speed of light, we make our way through galaxies; to left and right: stars a child could almost seize! Amazing how we navigate these cosmic seas (this snow we must believe in now)! Our skylight frames a silent film, an animated whirling show: white flecks of foam that fall and rise (now fast, now slow). Just look at how they change their minds - and how they glow! It's snow we must believe in now. So wake, and pull the curtains back to find a world that's black-and-white (or white-and-black). "How can all change overnight?" (you'll ask then) "How?" Then answer (and your answer's right): "It's snow we must believe in now." Cathal McCabe
