i got passionfruit
road-raging my throat
i want to spit it out
a drake-inspired pop song
or a gluten free vegan cake
by Rashmi's Bakery
but instead it goes down
my bile & belly, ignites
all my anxieties, stirs up
seasonal blues as crystal moon
rises from the seawater
& muse, earth-bound
splutters ink, burns the air
with bright bluish green flames-
zinc
of all my silvery dreams

Within me, new moon rises
with horns and head of the bull
That I am stubborn yes
But my late father says it is my strength
When journeys are darkly stark
I dig in, plowing & building lamp posts
I am metal
Strong, steady as a bedrock
A home, with my nest egg
pleases me. At my core, heart of
dragon's mother when the 2nd child
was born in year of blue-green dragon
I see Luck in my palms,
specially during Autumn season
Venus rules me
Pining for deep kisses
Sensual as blood red flower
nectared by bees
And stitching contentment
with my love, scents of memory
delicate as white gold threads
and sounds of violin strings at night
Though gravity ties me to earthly concerns
I harbor words luminous by water's reflection
Painting images kited by air, I offer
not emeralds, but peace & kindness to friends
And if my Luck holds
My actions will be blessed by Full Flower moon
