Snowing Songs
Bouquet by Langston Hughes is a tiny jewel of a poem.
Its language is simple and its metaphors are vivid.
It reminds us of the urgency and transience of life.
And of the wealth of short-lived joys that fill it.
Alberico Collina
Bouquet
Gather quickly
Out of darkness
All the songs you know
And throw them at the sun
Before they melt
Like snow
