Snowy landscape with R.W.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
The photo, black and white<\/strong>
\nAt first glance apparently nothing special on it<\/strong>
\nFor a Christmas day in the mountains<\/strong>
\nA snow landscape<\/strong>
\nWhich you probably crossed despite your age<\/strong>
\nWith powerful space-grabbing steps<\/strong>
\nThe railing<\/strong>
\nTo which you probably did not hold on<\/strong>
\nThe firm and secure imprints of your winter boots<\/strong>
\nWhich were the only luxury you have ever had<\/strong>
\nWell-earned after years of work<\/strong>
\nWhile washing the tables in the asylum for the insane\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAnd while sticking bags<\/strong>
\nA more useful occupation than writing books<\/strong>
\n(Your last one found exactly seventeen buyers)<\/strong>
\nLike the characters from your works<\/strong>
\nYou had the madness already left behind<\/strong>
\nAnd you had been healed<\/strong>
\nAs the hat was rolling from your head<\/strong>
\nAnd came to lie next to your body<\/strong>
\nIn the snow\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
