Today it snows …

Because tears are no longer dew,
but ice and betrayal…
Because that dread of emptiness has melted fear and pain…

Because respect for oneself,
has defeated contempt…
Because the fog, exhausted, has defeated stupor…

Because this cold doesn’t creep…
because this hail no longer ties…
because nothing amazes this candor…

Today it snows…
like the veiled truth…
over all our duels,
over all our kisses,
and always, with his same clamor…
