A\xa0chilly poem: \u2018Snow\u2019 by the wonderful Iranian poet, Azita Ghahreman, who now lives in exile in snowy Sweden.

The seemingly endless snow is a metaphor for the hopelessness the poet feels \u2013 she and her lover are lost in its vastness. Only \u2018a single stray earring\u2019 can be seen \u2013 \u2018not a tree, not a rabbit, not a star\u2019.
