A Shortcut to Summer (Free verse) by Enkidu Take all the months:
February,
December,
Even the September sun
Leave them out to spoil and cry
To see them so.
Watch all the umber, oval arcs
Of Autumn cross the trees
As leaves fall and drift;
Fall again.
Wound the world to bleed over
Winter. Bow to the solstice's revival.
Because Spring greens;
Glows and toils,
Whilst all the pretty knives
Come up from the earth
To grow, to die.
Up the ladder:
Crack baby
Down the ladder:
"Joseph, Joseph"

Yes, of course. Using second person consistently is a good method. So why the last verse? Why not: "Green the spring . . ."
whilst all the pretty knives...
