I shall not sit on a corner
reading tea leaves today
if I've been burned, then I
haven't learned a lesson

Rather, I shall ride
a roller coaster, spin
a roulette wheel
trip over all barriers.

Now is not the time
for timidity and hubris
I shall be glitzy and brash
go up front and confrontational

Armed only with a predatory gleam
letting discretion off its leash
I shall tell him his is the only music
that makes me dance.

Sagittarius is boldness surfing
a world of possibilities
tweaks life to surrender to love
if for a day.

Your determination has surged from the very core of your heart, dear Josefina.

I love this, it is powerful and as it is also passionate, it is even contagious!

Love,
Margherita

Yes, get out of that corner, jjote, and strut your stuff . . .

the anticipation built up quickly, with every line the pace was faster, made me sit up straight in the end.
