Winter wind

by Do Mai Hoa

Winter comes,
all windows and doors are tightly shut
don’t people need to breathe fresh air?
my windows and doors are closed tightly, too
but wind still wriggles through the tiny slots!

Winter comes,
my main door is always opened,
waiting for you to come
wait as long as trees are bare of leaves and branches are naked
wait as hard as there is no more water for evaporation and rain
where are you going? and why should you not come?

Whether if….
you alike the winter wind
wriggle into my house though the tiny slots?
