The winter girl ...

“You know how to call me, although such a noise now would only confuse the air ...

Neither of us can forget the steps we danced, the words you stretched to call me out of dust ...

Yes I long for you, not just as a leaf for weather or vase for hands ... but with a narrow human longing that makes a man refuse any fields but his own ...

I wait for you at an unexpected place in your journey like the rusted key or the feather you do not pick up. I will never find the faces for all goodbyes I've made ...


Leonard Cohen
