+A measure of grain
+and a measure of water —
+spring's own time and heat
+
+Air carries the scent
+of myriads of lives spent
+on summer's warm breath
+
+Crumb and density,
+warmth buried beneath crisp crust —
+autumn's crackling leaves.
+
+Loves and loaves and loaves
+baked for comfort in the cold —
+winter calls for stores.

+Leaves fall, grass withers,
+and I step back to witness
+winter's frozen form.
+
+Half an hour's silence,
+body relaxing slowly,
+letting springtime in.
+
+A season to stretch,
+then one to learn everything —
+summer's exploring.
+
+What will autumn bring?
+Maturity? Strength? Wisdom?
+Dry heat and cool nights?

+'''
+Seven flies circle,
+Trimmers chatter down the block:
+The hum of summer.
+
+    I listen, silent, waiting,
+    Breathing in sun and out shade.
+    
+Fig leaves like fingers
+paw feebly through still hot air
+and come up with naught.
+
+    Too early for fruit to droop,
+    we must wait past midsummer.
+
+And I walk until
+all I can hear is the wind
+among the fir trees.
+
+    Summer breezes bear away 
+    all the choices of years past.
+
+Drink deep of death-thoughts
+as the day dies with a yawn —
+the year starts to fade.
