Moon in Gemini-->Cancer
An hourglass stands upon the book, and near it a compass.
The friend of the owner of the book wants to argue about
Everything in time and space. But the reader's wife has
Left him. His grief concentrates all in a single woe.
Carving the substance of his meal with a knife, he considers his
Income, savings, business. Profits stand out as the substance
Of his concern; but he wants transition to something
More real, the poetry of soul in a fairy kingdom.
That might be a butterfly emerging from the body he tries
Hard to keep fit. Studies and researches help his mind
To rise beyond the body's fetters, but dispute
Can't heal the heart's loss of love in loneliness.
