I feel this cold stillness

I put on my over coat

Over my shirt and over my sweater

I wrap my neck in a scarf

And I put my knitted hat on my head

Winter approaches

What have I accomplished?

But only another year

Of not killing myself

I suppose a rejoice should be had

For that in itself

May be considered

The greatest accomplishment of all
