Happy Birthday to Me

XXXV

mars child, tuesday born
sun on sagittarius’ bow
full moon adrift in cancer
virgo, emerging east
lucky, intuitive, astute
magical girl

sunrise in san Jose del cabo
Twenty-Nine frames roll by
weary memories
vow to focus inward, release, become

found her hiding place
awoken from aurora’s slumber
hands on slick tunnel walls
pressing toward light
resurrected, revived, regressed

a quinquennium passed
exorcise the many-faced obstacle
work with the star dust you’re made of
rebuild the bridge to power
held by the women in your blood
the old girls rest and recover
forgive sheltered shenanigans

the past is material, lessons
transmute, alchemize
there is much to learn
much to remember
along the path to Inevitable

failure is staying put
better to stumble in pursuit
in the work to become her
sharpen abilities
accept all of self

mars child, tuesday born
world conjurer, magic maker, order bringer
your pen on the page brings life
wanderer, sensitive, critical
magical girl
