I am strong because I have been weak.
I am beautiful because I know my flaws.
I am fearless because I have been afraid.
I am wise because I have been foolish.
I can laugh because I have known sadness.

When the short days of
winter came, dusk fell
before we had well eaten
our dinners. When we met
in the street the houses
had grown sombre. The space
of sky above us was the
colour of ever-changing
violet and towards it the lamps
of the street lifted their feeble
lanterns. The cold air stung
us and we played till our
bodies glowed. Our shouts
echoed in the silent street.
