Seasons

You look like spring:

the cool morning dew on

legs like dandelion stems

to be plucked.

You look like summer:

sweat beading from the heat

on blooming petals

to be sucked.

You look like autumn:

those falling golden leaves

and sheltering stalks

to be shucked.

You look like winter:

misting breath and flushed red,

cozy and sleepy

to be tucked.
