the birds are quiet
Terzanelle in Thunderweather
This is the moment when shadows gather
under the elms, the cornices and eaves.
This is the center of thunderweather.
The birds are quiet among these white leaves
where wind stutters, starts, then moves steadily
under the elms, the cornices and eaves.
these are not our voices speaking guardedly
about the sky, of the sheets of lightening
where wind stutters, starts, then moves steadily
Into our lungs, across our lips, tightening
our throats. Our eyes are speaking in the dark
about the sky, of the sheets of lightening
that illuminate moments.
In the stark shades we inhabit, there are no words
for our throats. Our eyes are speaking in the dark
Of things we cannot say, cannot ignore,
This is the moment when shadows gather
shades we inhabit, there are no words for
this is the center of thunderweather.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Happy the person who can endure both the highest and the lowest fortune,” said the Roman writer and orator Seneca. “He who weathers such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Capricorn, you are currently having an encounter with the first thing mentioned in Seneca’s formula–the highest fortune. May you navigate your way through this phase of lucky abundance without falling victim to arrogance, carelessness, or insensitivity. Halloween costume suggestion: a lottery winner doling out gifts.

thank you
if the sun refused to shine
I would still be lovin’ you
mountains crumble to the sea
there will still be you and me
kind woman, I give you my all
kind woman, nothing more
little drops of rain
whisper of the pain
tears of loves lost in the days gone by
if my love is strong
here there is no wrong
together we shall go until we die
oh my, my
inspiration is what you are to me
inspiration, look see
if the sun refused to shine
I would still be lovin’ you
mountains crumble to the sea
there will still be you and me
thank you / led zeppelin as sung by tori amos
one year ago i learned that my life as i knew it was only just beginning. since the time you found me, that feeling has only grown in depth and certainty. i cannot say thank you enough. i cannot tell you enough times just how much i love you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): To be completely aligned with cosmic rhythms in the coming weeks, you’d arrange for rose petals to be thrown at you each time you opened a door. A gourmet cook would provide a steady stream of tastes you’ve never experienced before. A great band or chamber orchestra would come to your home to play for the best party you’ve ever thrown. A friend would read you stories that deepened your appreciation for how courageous you’ve been in dealing with your own struggles. And you would enlist the services of your own royal fool, who’d be responsible for telling you jokes, identifying incongruities, and keeping you flexible.
