the poet compares her mother with a late winter's moon. winters are symbolic of an end of cycle( the end of the year) and here it symbolizes the end of life. just like a late winter's moon lacks warmth, brightness, the poet's mother too lacks strength as she was sleeping motionless in the car, brightness as she is pale and she's old and aging. so the cold, dim moon is symbolizing death.
