    Or from even further back, from as far back as she could remember, there rose the fascination she had felt as a little girl every time she saw her grandfather shaving: he would sit down, usually around seven in the morning, after a frugal breakfast, and with a serious air make up his lather with a very soft brush in a bowl of very hot water, a lather so thick and white and firm that even after more than seventy-five years it still made her mouth water.

    The night embarks, or dark ages,Flocks returning to nests, congesting the city,Rush hours begin, honking and jamming,Few like us aren’t in hurry, waiting by the bus stop,Chatting over trivial episodes, perhaps making memories of lifelong,Evenings spent miles across, freedom, I could return at anytime,No one to ask, hardly any anticipation,I am home now, thus my phone rings, cozy wintry dewdrop.
