Skating the Seasons of Time

Today
there are people
getting married
giving birth
and dying.

Today
is the first day of fall,
the last day of winter,
and the month in-between.

Today
a baby daschund chases a piegon
while spring makes an old woman blush
a dictators plot their revenge.

Today
tears choke your heart
flood your throat
and stick to his ribs.

While some nameless form
keeps us moving
along a frozen yang-yin axis,
skating the seasons of time.
