5th house

 In a certain myth

there's always a father

eating his son

in fear

of being overrun, 

but my battles with time

have shown

that if I'm to take what is mine

and has always been,

I gather

I must burn

and take every chance

at first or second glance

for peace

and sing a song

about facing and eating the sun

piece by piece

so that from daughter

I become queen

and I'm sorry

if it seems blunt

and gory

but dada on the sky

taught me

as years went by

how much I may want

for the end of my story.
