I am letting the cat out of the polka dot bag;
the one I’ve kept hidden in the corner
where no one can find it.
As much as I am pure fire,
prone to independence,
according to my chart,
in this year of perfect vision,
in all houses, all directions,
I need love.
Want to get it,
want to give it,
want to spread it all around.
What happens when you mix my fire with your water?
You get some hot,
steamy situations.
Think saunas, or steam baths on full blast;
not bad for a cold wintry day.
But
fire can be dangerous.
You can be burned.
Look at Australia
if you have any doubts.
As for water,
Venice is drowning.
Miami and LA are not far behind.
Takes love and patience
to make steam happen,
make the engine run, keep us all in balance
so that we’re not just bouncing off the walls
on one big trampoline.
After all we are just stardust and ocean,
put here to be kind to each other
to love and forgive.

After so much sadness,
it’s time for celebration.
