“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.
Dying in the tall rain,
a monarch stands among them all.
His eyes are red,
his brain is fogged,
and in it forms this crying thrall, dying in the tall rain.
Of course,
in his brain,
This all is false to him,
Dying in the tall rain.
The world begins to set,
Of course,
in this drain.
To him is all,
peaceful one.
To him is all a golden sun.
