Piscean
by Jasmine Low
'There's plenty in the sea, my love'
Night has devoured you and before you awake
She would have spit you and gargled you out from her arid throat
My dear, I fear you will lose your white light despite your pristine thoughts
But you let Her. You let Her consume you.
And you, greedy, seek more.
She gives you more.
And you take.
And you take.
And you crave only more.
That hunger will never cease until you rescind Her. Her darkness engages you and entices you to hide underneath her pit. You smell dank as She releases you at dawn only to take you in again at dusk.
You are the fish heading one way
whilst I’m the other heading in your direction
Any which way, we still entwine and circle the other
When you’re up, I’m down and vice versa
When we swim, the other’s tail in the other’s face
Eyes on either sides of our faces, yet we never get to see eye to eye
The other is always better, smarter, more beautiful
I dance around the circle to save you, to heal you, to love you
Too bad we’ll always be swimming in the opposite direction
I’ll always miss you
It's the 2 second rule
2 seconds too late
And when I fall out of love with you
You will fall in love with me
And that, my dear Piscean lover, is our life.
Hence it is our lesson in this life to forgive and to love
Regardless
To be kind yet practical
Regardless
Because we're the last signs on the scope
Because we can.
