Author’s Note: This morning, at 4:23am, my little brother was born. There are twenty-seven years between us, and this is the end of my only-child days. As is my nature, I had to pen a little something to welcome him to our planet. He is a Scorpio Sun, Gemini Moon, and Libra Rising.
P.S. If you’d like to support my work in a different way (optional), I have an Amazon Wishlist!
Arlan
For my little brother
Across the river of milk fats and carnelian comets, you came bounding like a
Rune of the Earth; playing hopscotch with the moon.
Like a supernova you emerge from star-stuff and a pulsating organ.
Aloft in antiseptic spheres, you—Arlan—are the sunbeam calling out for magic.
Needle to the dark; fists full of Neptune, we anticipate your dragon-roots.
