I look and see that there aren’t any flowers.
Unusual for this time of year.
There’s nothing in the field anymore.
But it’s spring.
Spring,
Already.
The winter was a harsh, cold one.
It left its frost covering all of us.
Not even the sun could melt it.
Our hearts are frozen now.
Much like the ground.
Permafrost never melts, you know.
