PAUCITY OF SYMPATHY

Winter grips my heart
like an Eagle clutching its prey,
the dearth of emotional concern
that exists over my well-being
a wasteland across the landscape of humanity.
A tumbleweed blows across the Siberian expanse;
a paucity of sympathy encusped within my heart.
Why isn't there any world to pour some in?

paucity of Sympathy... = lack of sympathy for me being felt.
Winter = emotional winter, not actual winter.
world = synecdoche for other people (occupants of the world.)
