Walking With Maria - Nits

I am walking with Maria on a cold winter’s day

I’m dressed in black second hand clothes

She’s wearing a blue winter coat, C & A

The river is a stillborn child.

Seagulls in a purple sky

We walk from the light into the darkness

Hands like ice.

Feet like ice

I was walking with Maria on a warm summer’s day

She was wearing her dress with the yellow flowers

Me in my blue jacket, C & A

The river was a new born child.

Mother’s milk and butterflies

We ran from the darkness into the light

Hand in hand to the swimming pool

I dreamed last night I was drowning but now I will swim

I won’t be afraid

The river is a frozen sheet.

An old man lying underneath

We walk from the light into the darkness

A million starts — one yellow moon.

I will die — maybe soon

I won’t be afraid
