\n 
\nI think it will be winter when he comes,
\n 
\n 
\nnot that anyone can feel it in Los Angeles.
\nIt will be winter and I will know this
\nbecause there will be less traffic
\nand everyone wears pants.
\nHe will come from a long way off
\nbut I will know him
\nby his shoulders, by his chin
\nby his shimmering.
\nHe will smile when he sees me
\nthe smile I knew so well once
\nthat I inspired so many times
\nstretching across the years like a bandage.
\nWe will open our arms
\nwithout thinking about what we have carried
\nfor so long and it will drop from us. Spinning
\nlike clouds into each other, we will make
\n 
\nsomething new.
