Snow covers the ground, it has been snowing since yesterday
now slightly less steady,
its icy grip still squeezes the city
the winds are sharp and stinging
the cold air can be felt through the windows and over your toes
from our mouths come long curls of steam, streaming, cutting
through brightness of this particular morning
The air is taken in freezing lungfuls, clean and fluid
we are still breathing in the city
"the air is taken in freezing lungfulls"

you're reminding me how happy I am to currently be freezing the sunny south of my new home. Down here, in the city of the future, winter is only a chill promise on the wind; one that is seldom fulfilled.
In other news, Legenies, you simply must experience this city. The sinuous web of transit makes automobiles seem cumbersome and archaic. I've been trying to take the pulse of it for you in my pictures, but I can only captire so much. Should you and your red queen find the chance to visit it while I am still here, I promise to take you through its major organs: Akihabara, Ueno, Ginza, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku.
