Picture
When the sky opens her mouth
​and pulls you in,
shed every worry
​the clouds have regained themselves
​-- Leila Mottley & Sunari Weaver-Anderson
aries (march 21-april 19th) by Sunari

somedays, selfishness is survival
tuck yourself under the tongue of you
today, you are surviving
​
taurus (april 20th-may 20th) by Leila

i know you are used to the blurry,
but today look out the window
everything is yours

gemini (may 21-june 20th) by Sunari

not every empty is convoluted 
come fling or fall
follow the crunch of the sidewalk 


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

play hide and seek with the disco
‘til it finds you inside the whirlwind
the beat will never let you down

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

let the jukebox play in the pit of you
until mars is no longer looking to paint you red,
it is only safe in the rhythm and blues

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

crawl into yourself,
build a home in these lungs
you cannot breathe without a body

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

before the moon comes to visit,
butterfly kiss your reflection in the mirror
show her this self-aware beauty

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

when everything has spun on its head
don’t forget your hands
you don’t need the cow, you need the milk.


​sagittarius (november 22nd-december 21st) by Sunari

step out of the cave and into these strobe lights
let the pitter patter of your feet speak to you;
who says dancing can’t be enlightenment


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

take off your shoes and let the ground burn
until you are the tallest person in the room
and the soles have grown a new skin


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

your palms will callous
until even the sky glows green
when the dead skin bursts, know when to leave the table


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

the family grows its own legs
learns how to climb the walls
remember, you are not the prey.
