ONE OF THESE WINTER NIGHTS

One of these winter nights

that feel cold only because

so often these wet winters are so warm;

no -25, -30 Celsius anymore. So

minus ten is cold,

and I walk without hat or gloves

or the scarves I have misplaced,

savouring it. Soon,

this too will be a memory

of 'a real winter' to the young,

as the world warms

to humanity's folly.
