Other Stories, Other Windows............

Along the Hard Crust ~ Anna Akhmatova


Along the hard crust of deep snows,
To the secret,
white house of yours,
So gentle and quiet – we both
Are walking, in silence half-lost.
And sweeter than all songs,
sung ever,
Are this dream, becoming the truth,
Entwined twigs’ a-nodding with favor,
The light ring of your silver spurs...
