Aries 

little darling when you thought no one saw
i caught sight of your fall 

a quick descent inside a falling star 
your wings perishing against gravity 
a murderous crash landing 
a sky child left abandoned
but a spring blossomed 
bruises spilling into blossoms
in the place you washed ashore on earth

i watched you trace your back
and ravish everything
in search of your wings 
you tried to blink and pinch
wake yourself from this dream
but right there you would stay
while a deluge began to stir
calling your name
in the roar of thunder
coming right for you
a terrifying war 
but instead of run away 
i watched you hurl yourself 
toward the storm 
velocity, fury, ruby roses with thorns of swords
you didn’t need wings anymore
