Of Star Charts and Boot Prints on the Lake

No force of nature, no divination of the corners

Nor the tea leaves, spread out loosely

Conveying chaos in their spiral form

Nor your heart line, dipping down deeply

Into the territory of water, selfish and wandering

Nor your telling Capricorn birth

Ruled by rigid grounding, your father the earth

Nor the eight of swords, repeated in every reading

Blindfolded and reaching forward

None of these can deter the velocity of my falling

Towards the pull of your body's gravity, refractory

Freed from any other want or need than the divination of your sheets

I'm puppet on a string, held low above your lust's steady flame

Leaning down low, dipping my toes into your karmic fire

Transported to a future drenched in the color of your gaze

Regardless of hexed hematite or rabbits foot

Lost sight of all pink candle and rosehip, all mundane and esoteric

My soul is yours, to save or spend sordidly

To toss into the shallow waters of the fountain of fate
