Ménage à trois
I saw the sister of Taurus plain as day
and wondered how in the world
she had put me under a spell
with Mars lurking so near
Meanwhile the god of war fumed
in a confounding cosmic fog
waiting patiently to snatch Isis
once she wandered too far
As for me I refused to budge knowing
Venus was transiting my way
figuring all things eventually work out
inside this servantless house
august two thousand fifteen
