I’m a Leo, Baby

Susan Robertson

I don’t know anyone’s sign

but my own. Why should I care

 

when you were born, whether

the moon was rising

 

or setting in a particular

constellation or sky?

 

O, I can fawn and feign

interest: please tell me

 

when you were born.

Susan Robertson grew up outside Washington D.C. but has happily made her home in Canada for many years. She is a reluctant, embarrassed Leo. You can find, or will soon, some of her recent poems in Prairie Fire, Parentheses, the Offing, Grain, and EcoTheo Review.
