Lupus lives in my heart and brain
A poem by Fhen M.
Lupus lives in my heart and brain
Like our domesticated dog,
she knows the places to play,
and the places forbidden to stay
Lupus and Crux, the deacons of Libra
like eyes of Justice under a scale
balances passion and the higher self
it’s not easy to tame the shrew
(who said it is?)
she throws a stool, breaks a glass window
๐ง๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ, some men say
but this I know,
I don’t have to slay the beast
one just needs to tame the animal
the primordial one
that saved the heart from breaking.
