She feels her arms too long, her legs too short
To reach the stars, her desired goal for answers on
The questions that wake her at midnight. How many doses
Of moonlight will awaken her dead mother and
How many sprigs of belladonna will feed the dreams struggling
To strangle her? Will Orion hunt down her demons to
Feed his hounds? Is it Virgo or Hydra who will deliver
Her from Nature’s womb? She submits to the universe, to them.
