We Invent Gods That Will Fit in Our Pocket

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

we invent gods

that will fit in our pocket

and the trees look away

because we break their hearts.
