After the Horoscope So Mercury backtracks Till Equinox wakes him; So Mars huddles his cluster In Cancer’s shadow. The Moon’s in Virgo, Northern node prevails No more a saviour, I care As vile invective touches inner shells No more shall hollow ring Out there A rubbish-tip of meteors Fast monuments and postures Float clearing – What craters […]
