Seasons

It wasn’t new to me.
The clamminess of being alone.
The scraping for attention.
The begging for a life.

But when it happened, again,
I was caught unawares.
It had been autumn for too long.
Cold winds. Unprotected.

My spring came hesitantly.
Is unruly. Unpredictable.
Should I let it continue or
choose conscious hibernation?
