We woke up sitting facing each other
wrapped tightly in our views
with fingers hooked
in the coat pockets
-it was very cold, remember?-
between us countless extinguished cigarette butts
and a thick gray smoke
barrier impenetrable
to mercilessly shred the words
as we kept our heads down
to avoid hacks
we got up at the same time
like springs releasing their energy
to calm down
with a vague promise
we went in opposite directions
groping for the contact point
which we never found.
