Cosmic Body ☆ Poetry

sagittarius: the thighs

much to say
            to swallow
            to steal
the neighborhood carrion-eater
                                   charki-maker
dig your earth oven and bury your meal
before it rots
before the fruit ferments
and all the drink turns bitter
you're as poisoned as a thorn
                          and just as sharp
in the fullness
of your ways
i've never seen pride like yours
so clipping
dangerous
open and engrossing like a lily
                                                a fire
                                                a jewel
to be is to consume
is to know is to comprehend
like a red desert understanding
its dry heat
somehow knowing there will be survival

Sagittarius rules over the thighs, the muscular strength of the body. They seek adventure, always looking outward, which can interrupt close, domestic relationships.
