Inside the belly of the dark city
She sprinted into the wet icy night
Until her throat and chest burned
To catch the warm fire of life.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
Inside the belly of the dark city
She sprinted into the wet icy night
Until her throat and chest burned
To catch the warm fire of life.

Hello Nomzi, beautiful poem…. Who is it you are talking about?
I was reading through and suddenly an image came to me as of a young, foreign woman just arrived to a place which she does not know and tasting it’s contradictions and, yes, not very familiar, warm things…

A wonderful read. This poem is indeed about understanding what it takes to be strong in the winter months. There is no one formula. But being outdoors works wonders. 🙂
