NOT AFRAID OF WINTER - by Ulrike Gerbig

NOT AFRAID OF WINTER by  Ulrike Gerbig When spring time came This year I aired the closets And threw out What old thoughts Were hanging there In summer I danced my own sun dance My pores cleaned By heat and lustful living It’s autumn now And inside of me Soft silver cobwebs form Building nests In which I lay New thoughts Like eggs Ready for hatching This year I am not afraid Of winter.
