four seasons

in winter
   days drop
   from the calendar
   and shatter on the floor
   like frozen glass

in autumn
   they accumulate
   like crackling leaves

during summer
   dates float in the air
   like clouds or dandelion puffs

but in spring
   green days
   cover the walls
   creep through the windows
   into the sky

encourage the green
   to root in heaven & beneath
   the earth at once

you may desire
   to climb to paradise
   one day
