Aquarius Rises

In cusp between the Piscean Age 
    and  Aquarian Age lies misfits 
energies that take you across the Rubicon

To oar a Rubicon fire and ice is 
vital
    vibrations facing 
       slippery tar burning white 

what is geek are not wolves in sheep’s        clothing 
it is magnetic radiance fearless 
                                    wearing takkies 

seeing rose petals as a language of 
capillaries that coloured Piscean Age 
in its slumber as we wet white sheets 

      Cusp 
       is a ditch before ascension 
silent hollows smiling their grey matter 
in high heels
raw silk at a table of gossip 

Aquarius rises from dungeon 
                                prepared 
aware it has already walked through  
orange flames 
             furnaced 
                liberated (...)
