Winter
Ah…my winter is almost here…I feel giddy…I love the snow and cold…it’s when I walk.
I wear what you can see on my page…my Homburg…long black gentlemen’s coat…my beloved leather gloves. I love the cold wind blowing my long hair about my face…I love the frosty bite on my flesh…the crunch of snow beneath my shoes.
I walk…at night of course…through a very nice neighborhood that is oh so picturesque. Nice neat trimmed upper middle class homes…further down the street even multi million dollar homes. All nestled in snow drifts…their interior lights look warm and inviting…their outer lights adding just the right touch of wealth.
I look in as I pass each one…sometimes I see middle aged couples wrapped in comforters watching television…other times a figure traveling to another room…vague paintings on walls…clocks…Ah ha ha ha the occasional family pet…many times they dash to the window to peer out…it’s as if they know I am there…watching. I never linger…I just keep walking.
Can you guess what I see when I look into those warm inviting lights? I see falseness. I wonder what atrocities and horrors those warm lights mask. Surely they can not be as “Ozzie and Harriet” as they appear…no…no…that can not be. I often imagine the occupants running out as I pass and scream their horrible truths…confess to me what they truly are.
Yes…I love walking on cold winter nights.
I would join you for a walk, but sadly, I cannot take the cold…actually anything below 50, and I’m quite cranky!
But you are right darling, nothing is as it seems…
Perhaps…*ponders*…you’ve never had the right…comforter? *raises an eyebrow*
Soon the winter of good walks for you in the dark and cold nights … Here in PARIS i cannot to know this !!!
Never really thought about that…it doesn’t snow in Paris?
It does not snow often in Paris! and when it snows sidewalks and streets are “salted” and cleaned quickly. if there is too much snow in Paris, we are not equipped and it’s almost a national disaster … LOL …
In the countryside is different, the nature is pristine all white, very beautiful, more noise, more excitement, all is quiet ….. Another World really !
Have a great day
