Hours change, dripping on end Spiraling down their temporal drain Bodies grow, mature, and decay Decomposing until they are resurrected once again There is no linear pattern to the seasons I feel Deep within, each day samples with zealous decadence Today June, tomorrow snow Each week is a tsunami of emotion I lift my head up above the wave’s crest But I drown before I can gasp for air One storm rages inside An annual return that will not submit Inside me these seasons cease to change Governed not by months but rather moods of consciousness Aboard this doomed vessel I stare at the horizon not with a lens But with a kaleidoscope mirror So that every image is fractured into a rainbow of chrysanthemums And I can barely differentiate one latitude from the next Land ho! And I am dominated
