Friday morning we are at -22 C heading to -24 C

the photos that follow are from Wednesday.

"This day is definitive            frigid

Brittle             cloudless       And we walk

In the streets and out of the city

Wrapped in our shivering selves"

"A sudden end seems poised

In the air          devoid of love

Some confluence of fate

Traces a black line in the snow"

                     both quotes from

                                  The Waste of the World
