36

Winter's approach 
comes fast and steady

In the summer the 
wind blows and so do
the dandelions

The winter brings cold 
chills that feel like nothing
and blow nothing

the streets are barren
like his soul
for the winter comes 
with no control

it stops and mimics 
us with warmth
for when it returns 
we scorn

nothingness
is what it blows

and the secrets it keeps
and holds - for when will 
we see the heat again

another time when 
we're not human
it's when we turn into
flowers and plants

as the Son returns -
we prance and dance
we remain cold
the streets empty

the wind blows nothing
except ice and leaves
and when it chills we 
hardly breathe

We stupor then chill 
like a dead man's body
when the Son returns 
we win the lottery.
