JANUARY POETRY

WINTER PAUSES

snow people soul people
made in shadow and shade
the toe-space buried in winter― 
paws to passerby

notes  

Winter's eye, like the lens of the camera, swoops in to seize in the same space what can't be grasped in its disappearances. In its disappearances arise  mythopotoes.

notes

1. In myth, sirens are feminine hybrid monsters (aka psychic facts) and like the outdoor sirens that sound out natural woes now, when a siren sounds you better hunker down and listen up.
2. In myth, siren abilities are the unconscious abilities able to take over and control narratives.
3. Hybris is a variant spelling for the word hubris, pride or ego inflation.
