The Day Patriarchy Won for a Moment


I think she grew tired of her scales.
One day in space
they tipped to one side,
and we lost our way.

Of course a day in heaven
is a millennium for Us
(space/time is like that)
The moment they tipped
in one direction
was about a 6000 year process.

I think she is just picking up
her scales again.
Chains singing vibrations,
a string of holy harmonics
throughout time and space.

It was such a calamity;
that cosmic consternation.
Sagittarius shot her a glare,
and Leo let out a great roar.
Aries, Taurus, and Capricorn
fell to their knees.

We all were touched
by the shifting of a starry muscle.

Oh the heavens shook that day,
when Virgo faltered,
and Libra tumbled out of balance.
How that shaped our world,
they will never know.
