“Seasons” Written and Read by Jonathan Pettyjohn, Performed by Alicia Panzer

“Seasons”

Dry bones creak in sync.

Sky turns grey with snow again.

Child, without mother.

❧

Two children playing

When flower fields draw them close

And two becomes three.

The sun burns their backs.

Insects buzzing over them,

Then one becomes two.

The winds pull apart.

Falling once again, they hold

Still to each other.
