Early Oklahoma Winter

A mud-ridden town
With snow in the ditches
The empty sky blows coldly
Onto reddened, dry skin
Each back is bent,
Each body is shivered
Rushing from one store to the next
And get back inside
Light the fire
Watch the weather
This early, you know the
Worst is yet to come



Written during an unprecedented weeks-long winter storm, Seminole County, Okla.
