Seasonal Considerations
by Abbie
Notes

 

Spike associates English autumns with new beginnings. Spring--too slow, winter, too long, and summer, well, all that humid heat made him too lazy to move.

Falls had changing colors, dropping leaves, a moon growing larger every night. Puddles frozen in mud streets melted as the day warmed. Start of the theatre season, the opera, releases of new chapbooks--metamorphosis more obvious than chrysalis blossoming around him, though never prompting his own evolution.

In the endless California summer, it's harder to mark the seasons. And now, Spike passes through them unable to savor or touch.

He still hopes for change.
