Nancha banker 25 dec 1993

            If only for an extra hour in bed.
Three layers of socks and four layers on my legs,
out of the foyer and into the porch,
through thick blanket curtains.
Stop, steel myself, then step out into the pink grey smog.
Nostrils freeze in just a few seconds, a wall of cold.
Walk on through the early dawn,
following the tracks to the foot of the incline.
Past the farmhouse, battened tight against the winter,
land frozen, left to gathering sticks to keep warm.
Another day in another land.
A muffled roar, distant gets louder,
to a fast irregular bark and then,
rams round the bend, moving fast black beneath
its thick blanket of soft woolly steam. 

Shoving hard at the back, QJ1764 assists QJ1983 with Yichun bound oil tanks at the foot of Nancha bank, Christmas day 1993.

Merry Christmas!
