Lean-To

(x = space)

Lean-To

Earth tilts

Unlike pinball

The other way

Then tilts

The other way

We light fires

To appease

So that the axis

Listens

Turns us back

To growing seasons

We’ll have winter

Now

While they have

Summer

The world is made

Of complements

As well as

Paradox

Winter summer,

Equator and the poles

A world on which

All things hold

That must hold

Our home

Embraces opposites

In seasons

In tilting one way

Then the other

In value for us all

And each one

My name is Christopher. I use C L Couch because it is a form of my name that's genderless and easier to write out. I have severe writer's cramp. I am a career educator and writer. I also enjoy (other) fine arts. I am semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at http://www.debradanielson.com/.
