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.
