[Seasons and Ghosts: Both Are Solemn]
Seasons and Ghosts: both are solemn.
so what if you are married
to Winter?
When Spring comes
the chill of love is gone.
Wave "adieu" to the stars,
whom the night wears
like a velvet dress.
The Wind whispers of
the changing of the
Guard--change the channel
of the Television from
one commercial to
another--
the night does not
cry, the pale dawn
does not weep like
a Soap Opera actress,
but the circles
take them too..
If you feel too proud
to skin your emotions
for the
theatre of the earth,
let the circles sweep
you up
like a Season's phoenix leaves.
