HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I tell you
Happy Holidays!
Even if in my soul
The shadow grew like a night

I tell him
Happy Holidays!
Even if all that’s left are
Footprints on the silver snow

I tell you all
Happy Holidays!
Even if the distance
Swallows all the words

I tell them
Happy Holidays!
Even if I sit
Under an ice bell

And finally
I’m telling to myself
Happy Holidays!
Even if nothing
Does ever look like
What I say.
