Ana Drobot

Time

I try to understand how we feel when the year changes. We feel like not going to bed yet, since something is about to happen. The old year is replaced by a new one. Or, is it? Does the old year truly leave and is it gone as if it has never been here? We are still together, so is the old year completely gone?

all the stories
we listened to during
our childhood -
we could use a firebird
to keep warm this winter
