the wave

a wave was just about
to crash upon the rocks
when suddenly it changed its mind
"sod this." it thought
but before it could change direction
something pushed it from behind

the last season

a part of me was

extinguished in that dawn

I looked at you

knowing that I loved you

knowing that I had to let go

you were awake

yet your eyes were closed

leaving the warmth of your body
I looked across a wasteland

broken by a single tree

bare of colour

skeletal and fragile

and how alike I thought

are the seasons of love

to the seasons of the four
