Scorpio New Moon

​
The Sun and the Moon are in Scorpio
 
And Mercury listens in, listens in
 
 
their annual chomp at the bit for
the heart of any matter that matters or not
through entering the regions taboo:
dark recesses of the soul, depths of the sea, attics of life
 
and Mercury listens in, listens in
                                                                       
a sublte yet furious rush like
birds in the sea trolling for glee
bits and pieces of sea shells and star dust
form a new paradigm whispering from the dark
 
as Mercury listens in, listens in
 
stray dogs and cats prattling about
melancholy lines meander in an out
face to face with a two ton bear
grinning through his breakfast at the lovers in the air
 
and Mercury listens in, listens in
 
making mad love in the morning mist
The scorpion lovers cast a shadow
On tangled apple trees and rose gardens
That mimic the cycles of life and death
 
And Mecury listens in, listens in
 
Radical mutual interdependence
death is the lover of life
life can never leave death
and they’re having the time of their lives
 
and Mercury listens in, listens in
 
the new moon comes to the altar
the androgynous one prays for vision and clarity and
the dissolving of cages of consciousness
that virtually make us mad
 
and Mercury listens in, listens in
​
Break trance
see the merry pranksters dance
don’t stop at reds and go on greens
plant a willow tree in a field of beets with a scarlet heart while
 
 
Mercury listens in, listens in
