Voyager Returns

Grand Tour of the Seasons

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Grand Return Recapitulates One World's Seasons

February 4

Flung centripetal

Kissing the god of the underworld

Forever frozen

In exotic outlying sublimations

.

May 4

En route to the hellscape

Of the goddess of love

That averages with Hades

Inspiring tepidity

.

July 4

'Til the kiss with Aphrodite

Begins and ends in gilded guilt

With a hot tongue betwixt

That can melt lead, defeating alchemy

.

October 4

Slingshot centrifugal

Eyeing verdancy

And an entire spectrum

From yellow to green

...and per annum

...red to orange

...and blue to the forevers of ultraviolet...

    Maybe I'm missing some context or maybe I need this to be dumbed down to understand 😅😅
