fairy gone far
she died of cancer
transitory in the constellation
of leo.
she buckled under the influence of his
demands on her crossed
ill luck.
& in consultation with her pride
she learnt not to cramp
her style.
he only wanted her sacrifice of time
to accommodate the little love
he had.
& one day as all astrologers predicted
he was a bad omen on
her star chart.
so when on a dark night under a bright
crescent moon you see her loveliness
on the breeze
he will be
sitting lonely in the silhouette
of an impaled impossible dream of love.
