seasons of life

No matter how distasteful
we all will live that dreaded cliche
      -that our lives are just seasons.

That summer when I found womanhood
Within the crotch of a ginseng tree and 
      -fuzzy yellow iris tongue.

The fall when boys be James Bond
and I reflected it, silvery and raw, back 
      -it was always Peter Pan.

Till winters when I walked through
iced puddles, wet feets, shoes
       -peel Chuck Taylors off.

Fushia springs in tree house safety
busting with our hopes and dreams
      -never contained again.
