 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

LIBRA V. AQUARIUS


Blue lizards surround Ganymede
The most handsome of human men
His soul in the balance of Egyptian scales
As said by the seventh house in the Book Of The Dead


A bird feather represented truth on Judgment Day
Outweighing a heavy heart filled with terror
The Nile River filled two sandstone vases
Poured over the earth by a water bearer


A man's merit decided by a four-star constellation
Shining on cypress trees on mint-covered mountains
Atop a lookout branch perches a brilliant falcon
Hunting for Pisces in Amethyst fountains


The predator has privacy from ordinary minds
(But shares his prey with the pitiful seagull)
Their flight patterns take them toward two different signs
Soaring over cathedrals corroded by acid rain
From Peoria, Illinois to Port-of-Spain


Keep dreaming creatures of the Zodiac
Born on Uranus, made famous in Tibet
Easy to believe in daily newsprint
Two worlds collided when Libra met Aquarius


Horoscopes in fish wrap people become
October's daughter versus February's son
Warfare declared for combatants humane
Philosophies different but sun still the same


Protective families finally gave way
A billion lights corrupted the virgin sky
Pearls in oysters are the whites of her eyes
Pawned by a prophet with a taste for Gemini's


Panic and perversion, a red-glow diversion
Ganymede's heart passed the impossible test
The gull flies forever with MIA feathers
Plucked by the falcon, a.k.a. Aquarius
