Seasons

Spring: Genesis shod the tapestry splendour wrapped global in the skin of creation, derma-terraformed rock and flora, beauteous beast, tempered landscape foundation. Stirrings in the forge of tropics, in sea of saline and deep blue birth, singular cells of life evolution and microbes ruled the earth. Summer: Compressed fossil fuels in strata of bedrock, mined and burned for industrial vocation, layers of sky eaten voraciously, ozone consumed by the tech generation. Cracks on the foetus of the future, veined and wormed then rent asunder, cancer of science multiple thieved of nature’s intricate thunder. Autumn: Implacable meltdown and gradual flooding forbidding the last gasp land reclamation in the dust blinded eye of a putrid sun the creep of an ice-age in regeneration. Drowning in the mouth of Neptune, seas stood still, solidified, and all of life surrendered ghosts, by our own hands, and died. Winter: Monochrome shadows bleeding, engulfing, warped the grey surface of night domination, stillness and silence the reigning monarchs of most barren realms in frozen stagnation. Yet stirrings beneath the vault of winter in endless seas of ice-tombed birth writhed the resilient sub-zero virus and microbes ruled the earth.
