The Red Lion wears
a sheath of
gold dust
immutable on the
sea’s horizon
floating above is the heroic
male masked for protection, justice and
travel.
He is aligned by six lotus
and six laurel leafs
drop in the water
when feminine wisdom
crosses through
the reef
drowning victory
or defeat.
from ‘the Reading’ for Jack’s b’day, today circa 1999, who was
a Libra north south east and west.
