I really like this as is but I share some thoughts:
Now go the hell away. Very good use of this line. I'd make it the title unless a specific event or place comes to mind. Like "Workshop, May 32nd, Highway-to-Hell, Nevada".
I'd find active verbs for each use of 'is' and replace each 'the'. Like "May's sky screams blue; Spring's sea blooms green". This provides a season and action, sound, something.
Could use a grammar check unless you like it as is. Grammar is less important in poetry; this isn't an essay. For a definite pause (like for rhythm) you can use an emdash instead of a comma like: "I kid you not — nature's obscene,"
To add "darkness" to it... this is that season...
Explorers with lost souls explore,
Search worlds they've never searched before,
They'll kid you not — forevermore,
Now go the hell away.
His body has an engine that is wearing out too soon,
While everybody else on earth is racing to the moon,
Instead, he's quickly racing to his heavenly reward,
When suffering will at last sheath his battle sword.
All my paperwork says I'm childless,
Though I'm a dog-mom with two babies,
One's been neutered, the other spayed,
Pills for worms and shots for rabies.
