A CINQUAIN ZODIAC - SUGAR ASTROLOGY
ARIES
March 21 to April 19
If you
require a
season all to yourself,
might I suggest you opt for spring?
Begin.
TAURUS
April 20 to May 20
Don’t go,
until we’ve sown
our final seed. Our knees
together upon this marl of
kindness.
GEMINI
May 21 to June 21
And, like
school friends we locked
arms and we twirled and twirled,
until the world we imagined
surfaced.
CANCER
June 22 to July 22
Just once,
I will whisper,
and you will feel me as
a devotion of wind on skin.
Again?
LEO
July 23 to August 22
You’ll tell
us what you’ll need,
and we will begin our
search right away. Stars upon the
footpath.
VIRGO
August 23 to September 23
What else
have you been up
to since I saw you last?
I heard you found a small house and
two cats.
LIBRA
September 23 to October 22
Picture,
the time we left
our shoes in the sand, when
water and light resoled
the night.
SCORPIO
October 23 to November 21
Bravely,
I’ll lead you through
layers of sediment,
the geology that is my
body.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 to December 21
Two wings
hinged at the
base of your boots. Where
will you go this time traveler?
And when?
CAPRICORN
December 22 to January 19
They will
call you a root-
system, un-solar, come
in from blue-black germination.
Soil stars.
AQUARIUS
January 20 to February 18
Darts and
a bullseye, we
play together until,
surprisingly we hit the mark
at once.
February 19 to March 20
Breeching,
you’ll burst from the
water unaware of
anything but the urgent search
for air.
