July Will Come Again
He’s left me as Fall fell
He’s taken Spring and Summer
I'm stuck here in Winter
Arctic wolves hunt my mind
The dark vices come for me
Here seasons circle every week
Such is the igloo split in two
My setting sun follows a child
While on the other side, he rises
In Winter, darkness warms me
Addiction my cold companion
It asks for kindling, neglected
My dopamine cries frost-bitten
His absence disregulates me
His light askew gives little heat
You’ve left me to Winter's mercy
I retreat to my polar mind
I search for poetry, slippery
Let’s blame dopamine bereft
The maker of ache reaching
Its unruly mouth gaping frozen
Some learn to sip icy water
Some drink the Northern Lights
The darkest day is voracious
This poem to you is cold-hearted
All I want is your light returned
Spring and Summer every season
My dopamine satiated by solstice
My winter thawed by revolution
Each hemisphere in eternal light
