When it Snows in Mexico

·J. Maw

The flakes of white, and very light Just like the drops of frigid night That keeps me holding on so tight In the desert of Matehuala. It's windy and I don't know where it's taking me, not here nor there I'm lost, it seems, for all I care In the desert of Matehuala. There's only one requiem for this Let Heaven's frosty cry desist When the dead return to their abyss In thegraveyard of Matehuala. Here, it says: "I'll send the best of me Where men wish to be; Even though I'll never find The world I left behind."

I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. Michel de Montaigne
