Late Autumn

The snow bites into another hour and it is icy, unrelenting force into our patchy green lawns, our garden of bluebells and thyme, paddling the holes on our street-- does late autumn know I have been watching when her bite reflects a slew of careless whim? and she tilts her head back to freeze the sun-- does she know that her coldness breaks my polar eyes into a hundred lenses of mist?

"polar eyes". Did you invent that? I have no idea what it means. How can eyes "break" into a hundred lenses? That does not make sense. And, anyway, they would not "break", they would be "shattered". You don't break into a hundred pieces, you break into a few.
