Counting the Rings of Saturn
Counting the Rings of Saturn
By David J Walker
What do I know
Of Saturn
That claims sovereign reign
Over my last name and night sky
Of my Mother
Do you know my Father’s number
What do you have to do with
The new moon that brought them
Together
That I should be born in the
Purvey of Capricorn
My head is turned to the past
Practical
responsible
cold and distant
Unforgiving
prone to feelings of guilt
I’ll give you that, Saturn
I wonder if I can
Count your rings
And learn anything
