The snow didn't melt at all today
I found it just like I left it
When I came out from work
In the dark of December
I shuddered in my jacket
Jingled my key and unlocked my car
With a button and a chirp
Then opened my door
The thin orange strip lay along
The horizon and darkened
With each passing second
I started my car and turned up the heat
Winters in South Dakota can feel lonely after work. Dark, cold and lonely.
