Poem From a Coal Town

And the land looked bleak
after the leaves had fallen
after the birds had gone.
But I was left with Winter hoarseness
and the memory of you
walking toward me,
your jacket the only point
across a cracked expanse of snow.

Nice descriptiveness in relatively few words. A good submission.
