If Winter Comes
(translated from the Human)

Nothing will stand
or sit
or walk
or crawl.

No creature
will sing
or chirp
or growl.

No loved one
will whisper
or scream
or weep

and nothing
worth
living
will live.

(The title comes from the final line of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s ‘Ode to the West Wind’ {1819-20})
