Hypnotized

Spun from wintry patterns,
of hypnotic silver swirls
rural roads slowly drift;
land mines in disguise.

Silver swirls that get you even colder, and really hypnotizing stiff your face, hands and feet as you cross streets or turn the next corner. I feel the swift wind amidst the buildings, I guess coming from the hills. Excellent poem, short and beautiful. Best Regards, Hugo
