Reflections of a Man's Heart

Snow falls on Chagall's village, in March.
At the temple of a man looking forward to spring,
a new vein
trembles.
At the trembling temple of the man,
caressing the new vein,
the snow, with thousands of wings,
descends from heaven, covering
the roofs and chimneys of Chagall's village.
When snow falls in March,
the winter berries of Chagall's village
revive in olive
and women make
the most beautiful fire of the year
in their ovens.
