poetry: a promise is the sky

venus promises astrology
earth eyes shining
houses in alignment
mercury on water
hold the lantern
copper pot overfilling
tell me what you see

moon promises alchemy
elements within palms
draw a diagram
seven-part light
bareback rider
strong silver chain
tell me what you see

earth promises center
fingertips reaching
voices folding
firelight gathering
bracing together
container of all
tell me what you see

i see home
