Cooped Up

A long night
of darkness
and cold
a foot of snow
blankets the ground
winter

The driveway
covered
the streets
plowed
but snow topped
slippery travel
ahead

I sit
drop foot and braces
both feet
unstable
walking outside
off limits
cooped up
in my house
waiting

Sun
will warm
clouds
will go
snow
will melt
birds
will sing
spring
