This is so very deep. Deceptively so.
Beautiful and powerful..."Frost on your caught breath" was absolutely lovely!
Hi Nathallie, got to watch those unknown strangers, generally they do have in their make up one or more threats those who don't know him/her.
I had frost in my caught breath in the winter when I was sleeping. I slept on an unheated porch even in freezing weather. The frost would gather where my breath landed on my blanket.
Come to think of it I suppose many of our homeless persons have frost on their blankets also. Well, not in Italy or Texas but yes, further north like in Nebraska where I grew up.
Thank you for the definitions. 'In Law one not privy or party to an act, proceeding, etc. [a stranger]' is different than a by-stander. The stranger has no standing at law to sue while a by-stander does.
It is reasonable to act in a manner that will affect someone just 'standing by' and we have a legal duty to be careful for those people who but for our actions would not be involved.

Stunning! I have returned several times to savor this gem.
