Spring
Seasons change
With unjust irregularity
And tepid calls for temperance
Meet temperamental folly
Stealing rain and bringing thunder
Inequity transcends the weather
Where drops form floods that drown the street
Suffocation in persistent heat
Sunsets on a rolling sea
Hot air rises and so do we
Piece by piece to pierce the clouds
And share the air of common space
See ourselves within each face
What has is and will have been
A Summer that never was
In truth an endless fall
A Winter search for warmth
And whispers from which comes the thaw
Steel cracks the earth and the ground shakes
Fire melts the mountains and the waters rise
Blood meets the soil and the flowers bloom
Fists pump the air and the wind changes
The patterns shift
The seasons blur
And Spring arrives everywhere at once
