Summer Sun, the Harvest and the Winter Sun

The strong summer sun.
Land of Milk and Honey.
Streets paved with gold.

The autumn sun.
Hair shorn.
Aging, sickly.
Coughing up blood.

The harvest.
The reaper.
A beating, a flailing.
A loss of a hand.
Loss of a penis.
Loss of an eye (or two).

Father time.
Jars, storage, planning, counting so we don't starve.
Numbers lord over a false world.
A cave with firelight casting images on the wall.

A virgin birth.
Re-emerge into a world of dazzling sunlight.
Dance like a fool.

The strong summer sun.
Land of Milk and Honey.
Streets paved with gold.
