Open Fields

By Nikki Quismondo

in one complete galaxy
and in between the vast cosmos
our natal birth charts find an open space
where the bluest Neptune loses it's vision
and the striking Mercurial energy limits its reach
our opposing constellations would never remember
those Neptunic mysteries, or your planned globe
once we fall upon those soft golden fields
where the wild smiles are inevitable
and the honest blue sky tells us the truth,
we would shortly forget who we were,
and who we hope to become,
we'd just feel safe within our own skin
in a combined wisdom that we are not alone.
