casting a chart

AlchemiA

blue eyes pierce chiron	1
saturn falls in the west	2
jupiter on your breast	3

never ending intensity	4
IQ swims with the sharks	5
feeding on men who can't keep up	6

venus, pluto and uranus	7
rising in the morning	8
looking away, can't stay	9

psychologist, mother, insignificant other	10
lonely-worn-tired - wired into	11
24 hour shifts you worked up	12

pattern recognition	13
preempts your intuition	14
saying it isn't so	15

there's a hole in your head	16
where wounds of reason seep	17
what's left is deep	18

not much can be said	19
about the stones laid on the dead	20
in ritual circle rounds	21

no chart can map	22
the tears or broken cares	23
nor planet make amends	24

retrograde movements	25
track a backward legacy	26
of cosmic compulsion	27

if invertendo could kill	28
you'd have murder'd your stars	29
- fatalist	30
