I Cannot Bear Another Winter

Where is my sweet Swallow;
And the other courtiers of summer?

I find myself at a loss
Beneath the furrowed brow of broken skies
Beneath the bloated Sow of Yuletide 
Pregnant with resolutions and devotions;
			for a time yet unlived.
The future promises
Its usual gifts.

For even spring, whittled from winter's rind,
Can air the room
Fill the lungs
And ease the mind

Announce the flourishing  daffodils:
'Here is summer! Here he comes! Here he comes!
Everybody must attend!'     

And mowers start their annual trend
Suburban streets from end to end
are plagued by noise as Fathers' spend
The morning in a mechanised choir
Who only sing, now the grass is drier

And only when the daffodils' fanfare concludes
Will my Swallow return.

With him, the dawn, now earlier than before
The tardy twilight fighting to keep me outdoors
Make the gnawing, boring thoughts; 
		that haunt many a mid-winter's night
Seem irrelevant
Seem trite

So, come quickly my sweet Swallow of summer
Bring friends to amuse you
Ones who'll excuse you should your journey;
				confuse you

As it's an awfully long way on your own.
