Natural Causes
As because the May will come
when you smell the garden
and there is no garden
As because the June will come
when the pony shakes his head in the bridle
and there is no pony
As because July will come
when flames are fanned and there is no ending or beginning to the heat
and there is no fire
As because the August wind will write the book
when words are carried off in jet streams high beyond the cloud
and there is no wind
As because you were just thinking
this could be the day of change
when you must give your long and heartwarmed kiss to the final petals
and there is no flower
