A Year

A Year

Once in spring
sipping wine
thoughts of snow
mulling winter.
remembering

Through the autumn
drinking beer
remember heat waves
summer disappears.
memory remains

For the summer
sipping water
seeing leaves fall
fall sere and brown.
thoughts endure

In the winter
drinking amaretto
remember cherry blossoms
come in spring.
will you come?
oh come back in summer
will you come?
come to me in fall
will you come?
come back in winter
come back in time-
-come back to me
