- inscription: Recto, in typed black ink: The field of snow ate snow / until its cheeks blew out whiter than the snow it ate. / Quacking shadows of birds broke over the untouched field. / A blond woman wearing a red coat - irrideschent [sic] red - / fell belly up into the snow. / She dragged her wide coat sleeves back and forth / until her snow trench became a valentine. / The woman pondered the sequence in French:/ champs de neige, mangeant la neige, / les choux, les alles d' oiseaux, / le manteau rouge. / les massacres au jour du Saint Valentin qui rougissaient / la neige.
