~Respite~
Moon in Cancer
The field of warfare and contention. Two arrows crossed on the
Ground suggest the eccentric one who brags himself to rancor.
A woman sitting near looks to the sea for a sailboat approaching.
A man working in a pit looks up in time to avert a falling stone.
He is waiting for when he can attend a congenial houseboat party.
Before he arrives he must confront an ill-at-ease man brandishing
A dagger. Noticing the woman perched on the shore, he passes on.
She turns to see that he is an old friend, whom she joins.
They head toward the houseboat. A priest mumbling prayers
Walks along the shore, his destination the same. A curious
Crew. A man asleep on the beach yawns, stretches; joins them.
The hostess greets them with wonder that they arrived together.
Respite from work and also from rest; hopes secured; prayerful glory.
