Capricorn Stellium

so many aligning planets
Capricorn blood 
don't fail me now 
while my pay grade 
may go retrograde 
i'm the kind that could still 
sink on solid ground

major shifts in the stars
still strike my stomach like 
a bowling bowl
in the alley 

rolling endless gutter balls
into the gutter
align with the clutter 
of needs unfed 
and the swift demands 
of promise not met 

i've got so much potential 
and expectations
to not live up to
it's a surprise i'm even living 
like this 

cramped in a Capricorn corner
i've ambitiously painted 
myself into
just days after the 
embarrassing anniversary 
of my birth
