Seasons
Some days
I want to love you
seasonally,
to be but earth in the ginger of Autumn,
for you to fall and lay still against me in your ochre shapes,
to see the rain wash through your weight,
feel you disintegrate,
lay in wait,
to give energy to your life source, nurture buds and blossom on your bearer,
see you come again, and again, and again, rejoice in sunshine
- embrace you wholly,
irregularly,
in the weakest version of yourself
silently supporting you in your best.
Yes, I want to be your Autumn -
somehow your Spring and Summer too.

I loved a man, he loved me when he was sad, he loved someone else when he was happy. Maybe all of that should be in present tense as much as past...
It's a strange thing to only feel worthy when your useful.

I think what jumped out the most to me ( although subtle ) was the omission of winter. . .there's a message there somewhere. The ginger of Autumn, love that imagery. The seasons truly do reflect our own human nature.
I want [ to ] love you
