Become
Fall becomes Winter.
Time changes. Time rearranges.
Each season provides its own challenge.
A shaving becomes a beard.
The snow falls. The snow piles.
Snowballs gain momentum and grow.
A scratch becomes an ache.
I can't breathe. I can't swallow.
I won't last long but this will last forever.
The cold becomes pneumonia.
I have coughing fits. I have blockage.
Phlegm builds an island to be marooned upon.
Habitation becomes hibernation.
The animals escape. The animals sleep.
They wait for the light to shine on them once more.
Mitigation becomes migration.
The birds fly away. The birds fly South.
As they flee their wings push cold air down toward us.
Winter becomes Spring.
I have become someone else.
A man who has felt another Winter.
