We Invent Gods That Will Fit in Our Pocket

Winter once was without perimeter

a month-less time until March and the Ides

when things with fur woke and made more things with fur

January and February were later additions

named for the gods we also invented

but we live now in a season-less time

there are less things with fur and the stars are all darker

the trees look away because we break their hearts

and we invent gods that will fit in our pocket.
