Poem: 'Reading Your Stars'



READING YOUR STARS

virgo

strung out on the wires 
of impossible romance, 
nothing to believe in 
just loose ends to tie off and 
staples of habit that bite deep, 
search the space between words 
to find no taste of breath 
no pulse of blood-warmth 
the stars are cold 

scorpio 

a new moon in your sky 
a focus on fresh creative ideas 
but nothing that connects 
other than astrological signs 
the movement of planets 
constellations that turn 
into strange alignments 
dictating the destinies 
of impossible tomorrows 

while you and me, 
bide time in hope 
something useful 
will emerge, 
no turn of page 
…yet
