These are beautiful, especially the second and third!

Also, given your post title(s), I take it that you study astrology?

I'm glad you like Mr. Harrison! I recommend that you follow up on his other works, if these stood out to you. God knows he has plenty more besides; my volume of his collected poems is more than nine hundred pages.

I'm a rather insincere astrologist, I'm afraid. I have a few friends who are very into it, and subscribe to it in varying degrees, but my interest is more aesthetic, maybe even superficial. I find that the astrological calendar is a sweeter flavor of calendar than that which we use to organize the division of work and rest, and is more obviously cyclical. It's pleasant to consider a passage of time as having something like a personality, in accordance with the various traits and identities attributed to the signs, houses, and their rulers.

I wonder if astrologically-minded people are more open to the ancient notion of cyclical, as opposed to linear or even helical, time?
