Swan, Heather / The edge of damage
(2009)

Polar,   p. 14

Page 14

Polar
The eye of the white bear punctures
the landscape of white
like a porthole to a vast blackness
an archaic knowing    an encryption.
His body lumbers forth     ghostlike
over what is still frozen
but is becoming water    rivulets
carving the ice   like so many tears.
When he closes his eyes
he'll disappear.
