Water Bearer, on Scales, and Shoulder of Ram
Am I scripting this Horrorscope of mine?
with its time-warped masts orbiting full blast!
Or did Natal Stars steathily align?
and so inflate our Zodiacs as fast!?
...Must I become the water-bearer now...
and then...weighing draughts anyone can take
from, and welcome, as ladlefuls of “Ciao!”?
Am I myself the Haruspex who
through these entrails and barriers will graph
the course prescribed, still wondering lost, yet found
as a common, though Alien, space craft
who shall touchdown and infiltrate the ground?
...I’m not strong-enough to abdicate the task
...I draw water... why? cautiously I ask...
