I’m winter hibernating,
Inside an Eskimo’s hut.
Feeding only on fish oil,
And frozen blue blood.
My heart’s cold and dormant,
Cowering under a dampened vestment.
Pumping only yesteryears rust,
And icicles of my dust.
My eyes are swollen rocks,
Amidst polarized sockets.
Terrorizing all that’s passed,
Like forgotten arctic icebergs.
My veins are hollow crevasses,
Inside a glaciers ice-flow.
Sheering and groaning chasms,
Like my memories deepest fjord.

Thank you to the Vita Brevis Magazine for publishing my cold and chilling poem, “Arctic Winds”, written during our Southern Hemisphere’s winter last August, as we were experience an extremely cold season in Geelong, and now ironically like you of the Northern Hemisphere are suffering at the moment…..And the featured picture, the painting by Herman Herzog, An Arctic Landscape At Dusk, is truly spectacular.
