It’s funny how the warmest months cause the most shivers And when light waxes the grain withers. I’ve seen Demeter with arms so white They would cure the night colds, But the morning flew by with leopards leading me Down a trail that’s only wide enough for two. Is this the hallowed path I should walk? Or just some child’s guidelines drawn in chalk. Leopards stalk Which is all that’s left when the fruit is eaten Hobbits feet feel weak on black sand Ravens beaks look strong with an empty hand It’s an annual sense of being suffocated by pressure Earth is above me going forward I’m frigid Children dance for the solstice Three summers past I first wrapped the cast Now it seems as if this will last till day’s stop But the last leaf is inevitably bound to drop
