This is quite good. I don't understand it entirely, but I do get the general sense, and it is beautiful that way. Not everything has to be explained!  
In particular, I think you have a strong opening and ending, but the middle could use some work in my opinion. Different types of imagery have their place in different types of poems. The image of the cars running to keep batteries warm and puffing smoke is fine by itself. However, it seems a bit out of place here, given that it is a fairly concrete, routine, day-to-day type of image which doesn't fit in with the melodramatic "sadness of winter" before it and the relatively lyrical "I am grey like the clouds" after it. As a result it felt a bit disjointed to me there.  
Additionally, I felt that the word winter is used too many times throughout the poem: "sadness of winter", "running over winter", "winter's demons". I would try to replace some of those with other words / descriptions, so that it doesn't feel like the poet is short of wo

Wow! I’m still trying to understand what I just read. You really packed a lot into this poem. I think… most people who read this will probably not understand it fully. And I think that’s a sign of a great poem. That, or I’m just stupid 😭
It’s apparent how much thought you put into this, and your descriptions are beautiful. I hope someday I’ll be able to fully grasp it!

This is great! I can clearly picture a post-apocalyptic setting and when I read this I got a sad eerie feeling, like I'm alone in the world now. Those last two lines really do it for me though. In a situation like that the only hope one would have is to turn to god. The name perfectly suits this piece as well. Keep it up!

Each window conceals emotions,

In the high-rise soviet flats.

The deserted streets and light of

lanterns immerse me

&amp;#x200B;

Deeper into the sadness of winter.

Into my own thoughts of reality

People leave cars running over night

To keep the batteries warm

&amp;#x200B;

Their endless puffing in an expanse

Their futile maturations of the oil industry

I am grey like the clouds, wading the streets

I wonder if anyone will make it out

&amp;#x200B;

The winter’s demons are on the horizon

Ever-present like grey monoliths

A lamppost is a black silhouette

Amongst the snow on the ground

&amp;#x200B;

I am not sure if there is a god

But if there is, where do I pray?
