season

a winter,
and you asleep
(so warm, so cozy)
shaking shoulders
stirred awake
(so sudden, so tired)
“look! look! outside!”

and the whole world
is fading to black and white
while you watch
your eyelids fall down
to escape the dreary
and your eyes roll
into the back of your head
to escape the dreary

a summer,
and me asleep
(so warm, so cozy)
shaking shoulders
stirred awake
(so sudden, so tired)
“look! look! outside!”

and the whole world
is blooming to life
while i watch
my eyelids fall down
to escape the living
and my eyes roll
into the back of my head
to escape the living

a fall,
and us asleep
(so warm, so cozy)
shaking shoulders
stirred awake
(so sudden, so tired)
“look! look! outside!”

and the whole world
is falling down
while we watch
our eyelids fall down
to escape the leaving
and our eyes roll
into the back of our heads
to escape the leaving

a spring,
and us awake
(so cold, so lonely)
shaking greymatter
concussioned asleep
(so sudden, so tired)
“look! look! outside!”

and the whole world
is alive
while we watch
our eyelids fall down
to escape the feeling
and our eyes roll
to the back of our heads
to ecape the feeling
