White Out

With all the snow and freezing temperatures, this just seems fitting.  Some of you may wonder why I post audios of my poems to which I give you my favorite quote: 

"To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes to hear it is to see it with our ears."
Octavio Paz

Sharing, 'White Out' - I was trying to recreate the disorientation felt in the middle of white out conditions.

White Out

Tangled in the

artificial

light of snow

The glare of shrill

ice lamina

promptly blinds

The silent roar

of an absent

wind deafens

As you drown in

the emptiness of

vacant space
