It’s so gory,
There’s never a winning side,
The winters find a way
To stay 1 or two more days
In spring the rivers run
Off their course and
The flowers turn
Into pollen machines.
In fall the leafs
Dance with the wind
off the trees
All at once
And oh god,
The summer sun
Melts puddles into
My shirts
But you know
I can see some romance
In love
And how hugs
Feel like being wrapped
Around the mantle
Of the earth,
And water drips
From their lips
And i, lost.
With closed eyes,
Like a vagabond,
I’ll plead and beg
Through the traces
That fall in between
Your jaw and your cheeks
Just to pull out
As eyes interlock,
No words spoken
But so much said.
