Aries:
your heart beats molten
lava, no wonder why
you set fire
when you bleed
Taurus:
there is no shame in
standing still,
but the tides are stronger
than any legs
Gemini:
speak quickly enough
to spin their heads,
perhaps one will fall
off and into your lap
Cancer:
have fur cover that
skin of yours, so you
may still be soft but
not so easily wounded
Leo:
when the curtains close
do you still dance - are you
still a performer
when no one else watches?
Virgo:
breathe in, breathe out:
hold your tongue
and hope your teeth
don’t tear it all apart
Libra:
if love is your alcohol,
watch for the carelessness
in your drinks, the one nights
that will break your heart
Scorpio:
the darkness blinds you,
you are digging the wrong way;
you must go up
before it is too late
Sagittarius:
they say a fairy blessed you
when you were born:
a tongue to speak a thousand tales
and feet to chase a thousand more
Capricorn:
you fractured last night,
in a hole you dug
for this very purpose;
you will bury it all by morning
Aquarius:
free-floating is not as fun
as it seems, it is cold and dark
in space and everything
seems just out of reach
Pisces:
dreaming must be more pleasant
in the pools of your tears,
you slip in and out, a
glittering tail and nothing more
