The disconnect between your phrases is really hit or miss for me. But this was almost entirely hits. I was able to connect pretty much everything in some way. The images in the beginning were beautiful. I had to think about some of them for a bit. "Winterette" isn't a word. But you made it work in context because you'd given me the image of a cold November day so clearly. This verse might have been more affective in two months. Anyway, Toward the end, you gave up your style a little and went for more directness with mixed results. The "darker spills" line was masterful, while the "perspective"/"bitch" couplet felt out of place and clumsily worded. The ending redeemed it, though. The last line was one of the best in the verse. This is you at your best.
