Sweet and Sour Valentine

Fall is to drawn-out grief
what spring is to sudden happiness
while summer is all about a body
with an ocean in the background
though winter is a complete cliché
mostly we resist the temperature
which is always either pushing to
entrap us or pulling to set us free
actually to dissolve us
which it does finally
but how much our own
hot and cold-turning thoughts
want to do the same
either waft us heavenward
or pound us insane
