(Sun in Libra) square (Mars in Cancer) 
The Sun calls back to Mars, 
as he sets... 

"This creek runs. 
I suspect it will keep 
running, for many years. 
It is half as strong 

as it was last week. 
I could submerge completely 
in it then, after 
the flood.  The power 

out, left no way 
to pump the well 
Water.  We got 
lucky here, 

where rivers run 
on either side of this 
fae country, that the Water 
held within its veins. 

It did not burst.  Rain. 
We do not need it, 
but I miss it anyway. 
When the storm ended, 

the birds chirped, 
and I came out, 
and we basked in the warmth. 
We got lucky here, 

stranded in such kind
company and care.  As we 
ventured beyond ourselves, 
to give hands to the waste 

laid to the land, 
I saw hearts rising 
from the mud.  And I 
realized I am where I want

to be."
