I see this story as much more than just the words that are on the page. Wendy Rose is talking about when winter comes and everything living pretty much disappears. For example animals or plants die and are no longer visible in the winter months. But i believe this is about much more than that.
To me, this poem is about leaving a lasting impact on people even after you're gone. People should not just be content with going unknown or unnoticed and this poem i believe is relaying a message of this sort without actually saying it. When she says, "a women was just standing there and now poof she is gone" i feel like she is trying to say that there are to many people that are content with just blending in and going unnoticed to people throughout there life time. This was a very strong poem to me because of the message i got out of it.

Good observations on this poem. How might it relate to the information Rose tells us about her own life in "Neon Scars"?
