The Company You Keep

The snow didn't stick long
but there was a coating in the morning
yesterday and when I walked outside at 
sunrise there was that smell, snow
on evergreen boughs, nostalgia, still 
gray days are coming and the wind, ice,
punishing cold are right behind them
working together to make me something
of a lonely pilgrim with ordinary
hardships and bits of memory
for company
