New Moon in Virgo: A Response

Back and forth 

back and forth

And back and forth again.

He loves me

He loves me not

He loves me

He loves me.

I didn’t want to 

But I had to do it

I bound your hands and feet

Under the full moon

An offering to Hecate

A meal for Hungry ghosts.

I didn’t want to do it but I had to

So you would never touch my body again

Please don’t cry,

I promise I did it all sweetly

And with care.

Then I went on a fishing trip 

I went out to catch the big fish.

 I went to the other side

In and out of my body for days.

Up and down with the waves

Floating in the darkness 

Losing and finding my way.

Seasickness.

222

22

222

22

Like your heartbeat.

Next to me.

I never knew you found my hands beautiful.

I’m putting up a sign again

“Gone Fishing”

It says

And I’m hanging it on my door.

I’m chasing down Leviathan

I’m going to slay my demons.

And if you’re not strong enough to be my man

Then this time, I go it alone.
