"Scorpio's are very faithful," she wrote
making me think of the fidelity that
chases after you, begging and
cajoling, threatening
suits in shreds and
lives in tatters in pursuit of
love -- tender game but
nocturnal and elusive, unwilling to be
pinned down in someone's
specimen case or be
biddable or be
demanded.
So the sting is raised
passive-aggresively while the
prey keeps running, forever
out of range, and the
rage congeals into pride that
so fearsome a hero fled from her into
the black night that she
only now notices is
ice-cold and empty-- she
who is so sure and so
uncertain.
(This is the last of the Zodiac poems)

DawnJabout 10 years agoWhen I scrolled through your poetry and saw there was a poem for every sign, I searched immediately for my own. Without confirming or denying the veracity of any ideas set forth here (*smiles*), I will say this is a poignant piece. and nicely handled.
I shall read the rest soon.
