Astrology
By John Tansey
You,
Aries, born of flame
and forged in fire.
I,
Gemini, a gourd
of air, poured of sky.
You,
consume me;
So that I, too,
assume the body.
I,
an idea with no mortar,
placed moral
into your rage.
Without…
you would slowly
blacken to waning ash.
And without…
a chalkline in the rain,
I would never know the flesh.
