Birth Certificate

by Karla   Jun 24, 2012


Leave the heavy rings on the corners

of Saturn and empty your eyes

as soon as I cast the chart.

Keep the cobwebs

in boxes behind unknown latitudes

and forget all that has been said

for those who ignore

your lunar return and the mathematics

of your permanent damages.

Look at the progressed Sun

changing sign

as you delete the lines

that still bind you

to your improbable heavens.

Turn the tables gently

before the planets are retrograde again.

Something waits for you

within someone.

Something is eagerness

when Venus is in conjunction with Mars

and trine with Pluto.

Exercise the muscles

of your arms and of your heart

without worrying about the transits

or your ascendant.

Your name is star

from now on.

    Awesome write beautiful!

    I lovvvve the images of the solar system in this poem. I used to love watching the stars at night and reading about them when I was younger. I found something magical about it as I do about this poem.

    Wonderful.
