Sagittarius
i tried to befriend the doldrum wind,
i could neither grasp it or renounce it
because i had begun it but i could not finish it
air, notos, zephyr
they fell with ease in procession
and then got up in a breeze
you should've seen my stunned expression
you sag,
it was a fall 10 stories high
like a great eagle of passion it was you who jumped from the ledge straight
down
the sunshine hit your wings,
gave you a god-like crown
and the second before landing
lest concrete slabbing,
a parachute unrolled
and you flew away!
to leave me at bay.
for i had dug up the concrete ten times over,
you know,
i had made it all water
but i guess air prefers to hover
and to brook the doldrum wind
it shows to be impossible
