WAYWARD SEASONS

summer brings slurries
wicked sticky sleet drops.
puddling, pooling, icicles dripping.
slush gushes from the frosted rooftops.
winter heat fries the egg
cracked on rocky road.
melting the cream
burning the orange cone.

Melbourne Falls, darkness dawns,
sixty days of night.
madness in the streets,
kingdom of crime.
Tamura Springs, sky rains cancer,
the Sakura flower lost.
our beautiful reminder
smothered in the caustic.

wayward seasons,
planet screaming,
Earth is wavering.

spectators dissenting.
shifted in our orbit, a new place in space
adapting to wild change.
the Sahara prodded and poked.
the antelope bombed and choked.
no survivors guilt.

wayward seasons,
planet screaming,
shot off of its track.
we were on the ship
our whole damn lives,
space travel was a gas.
