Spring in step, candied clouds and sugared
words. The usual promises of constancy
with varying degrees of intensity
trickled into the heady summer
days. Warm and thick
drizzles of pass-i-on,
of in-toxic-a-tion.
Sultry. Smooth. Dripping. Honey.
Dry autumn stormed the grounds. Crackling leaves
littered uneven pavements. No negotiations.
Implications. Once more.
The road ahead was long: dreary, exhausting, teary. Tedious? Clearly.
Winter slid in like a surgeon; and like a dagger
stole a heart. Cold, unfeeling steel.
A blanket of cool resolve
smothered each dying breath into the sterile Earth,
quelled its hunger, and eagerly lay in wait
to consume its next victim.
