00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:11.560 align:middle line:90%
Where snow falls today,

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.840 align:middle line:90%
I will be absent.

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:16.960 align:middle line:84%
Where silence attempts
at confession,

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.920 align:middle line:84%
The intentions of others
cannot be made out.

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.300 align:middle line:84%
And you can gaze for a long
time at your impression

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:28.200 align:middle line:84%
in the glass picturing
a short cut instead

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:33.600 align:middle line:84%
of your own long hair, but you
never pick up the scissors.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.800 align:middle line:84%
So I go to the place
where the snow is born.

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:42.000 align:middle line:84%
Every day this snow
is a humanitarian,

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.000 align:middle line:84%
hiding life's flaws,
promising nothing.

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.880 align:middle line:84%
He simply existed, being
born and then dying.

00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.800 align:middle line:84%
He could easily have started
anywhere in Armenia or Crimea,

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:01.000 align:middle line:84%
falling with all the
weight of his own necessity

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.800 align:middle line:84%
then melting away
just as fast, having

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:10.880 align:middle line:84%
handed over the chill like
a baton in the relay race,

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:16.280 align:middle line:84%
and afterwards wondering, why
my hands and heels are so cold.

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.120 align:middle line:84%
And trying to warm my
fingers with his breath,

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:25.600 align:middle line:84%
My snow and I while
away the hours in bed,

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:29.560 align:middle line:84%
With the futility of such
attempts, each unable to

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.910 align:middle line:84%
confess this loneliness
to the other.

00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:36.000 align:middle line:90%
