Worshipped, a god:
Source of warmth, growth, and sight
Symbol of life; Life:
O, holy pun—the Glory of the Son
Else burn and blister and smite
Or wither and languish and die
—Make SAD
Scrawled on the prescription pad:
Seasonal Affective Disorder
Lack of Vitamin D
Added to the list
Of why none us is happy
It came out today from the cloudy melee
Of our gloomy state’s sky in winter
Can we soak in enough
For the sake of our health,
Wealth, and happiness?
Or to fire our sins
Of gloominess within
And place on a cross
The hope-loss,
Burn it down
And till
A new season?
