Astrological Intimations
Perhaps we should have been the Gemini
And not Aquarians. Aquarians
Are watery at best up in the sky.
We should have both been harsh barbarians
Of love, the pair of us, the twins of lust
And not so much of brotherhood. We might
Have been identical. The thrust
Of perfect matching adoration with bite
Of passion in the mixture, that is what
We could have fashioned frantically like teeth
That God made when ocean floors were hot
With swollen graspings groping underneath.
..But we poured out our feelings in a leak
….Of courage. You held silence. We were weak.
