New England Winter

I tap my foot restless...
The snow continues to cover. 
In a torrent- my torment.
Taking my sweet years with it. 

As I age and forget. 
With all that remains- I regret.

I retreat in my cave and curse the gray days. 

A thief in the night, I awake…to an empty chamber- my heart. 

I cannot take another New England winter. To face myself in the mirror.
