In Deep Winter

In deep winter, in the heart of cold, his days are met with endless snow resembling nothing so much as waves, white as salt, banked against the walls of his house, above window sills, sealing doors, denying escape. He lost count of the buried days, so come the thawing, the regaining of his lonely mind, anywhere but here called, whispering escape.

Thanks. Fortunately, I live where winter is short and mild. My son though lives in NYC where it's snowing today. The poem seemed timely.
