spill words into thumbprints
and wait for the stars to align
​
​-- Leila Mottley & SUnari Weaver-Anderson
Picture

aries (march 21-april 19th) by Leila

find callouses on the back
​of palms
sip gold
and realize
you are finally here


taurus (april 20th-may 20th) by Sunari

listen to how the wind
passes your face when
you’re still,
commit this sound to memory


gemini (may 21-june 20th) by Leila

pick petals from lotuses
until the roots rip
you do not have to be everything


cancer (june 21st-july 22nd) by Sunari

learn to love
the bodies of others
like you have loved your own


leo (july 23rd-august 22nd) by Leila

smoke lurks in corners
until the body forgets itself
in iron and too many choices


virgo (august 23rd-september 22nd) by Sunari

scatter the last
7 days in the ocean
admire how the waves
carry them away


libra (september 23rd-october 22nd) by Leila

spill sun from lips
and bathe in your own
nakedness
this is your body


scorpio (october 23rd-november 21st) by Sunari

grab sunshine
by the handful,
you deserve the world


sagittarius (november 22nd-december 21st) by Leila

do not fear skin
it is everything you
are fighting for
you have finally made
words into freedom


capricorn (december 22nd-january 19th) by Sunari

pick flowers on your way
to work
remind yourself how big
the world is


aquarius (january 20th-february 18th) by Leila

dream until your lungs burst
do it over again


pisces (february 19th-march 20th) by Sunari

when they arrive
to love you,
let them
