Driving Alone in Winter Driving alone in winter through acres of land deserted by everything save the snow trapped in the ruts of the road, the moon broken by the bare trees, I remember the days when my brothers and I would fall asleep in the backseat on the way home. Tonight, coming home, I remember the faint light on the dashboard holding my father’s face, my mother’s soft voice, my brothers asleep, the moon running among the trees beside the car.
