A Very Small Snowflake

打开网易新闻 查看精彩图片

A very small snowflake, you
As if dancing
As if slowly dancing, approach
My face

Instead of falling straight down like all the other snowflakes
Somehow, you spread your wings toward my face

But where did you get to, after that?
I never saw you again.

(Translated, from the Korean, by Maya West.)

This is drawn from “Light and Thread.”
