Titleless

Because you were too shy to say hello 

when you saw me in the train,

you started drawing me in your notepad,

as if to greet me. 

Our train passed by this big, grey block of flats

and through the window I glimpsed a couple

dancing in their kitchen. 

There was so much warmth there,

and warmth here too,

little human hearts surviving

this cold and wicked January.
