Cancer will not share a secret
A burning sting in the shell
That burns hot with smoke
Gills that cry
And a heart buried in a price tag

Capricorn will not ease an issue
A horn that will not quit the taste
Remembering what it clashes
Hooves that gamble
And a beard trapped in a book

Text only tells of emotion
Ice can not freeze rationale
The goat holds only two leads
The crab holds every lead but two
Moon and beyond, instinct is not truth
But the insurance of love

Highest mountain and deepest sea
Cancer and Capricorn know where they be
Possessive of each other
Without a hand to hold
Foundation and fundamental
Passion of landscape
Turn hand into pincer
And horn into knife

Commitment to hostility
Is breathing fire into ice
Melt their bond into water
A shared beast, drowning freely
Will rise and split land and sea
Into realms where Tropics
Thrive all but forgotten
