Autumn's Equinox

Fall’s Equinox is fast approaching,

and the Summer’s Triangle slowly retreats,

replaced again by Autumn’s Celestial Sea, a change

of seasons and the movement of constellations

through the heavens, the Lyre, the Eagle, the Swan

descending, giving rise to Pegasus, Perseus,

and Cassiopeia; the Wingèd Horse,

the Hero, and Vanity’s beauty ushered in,

a tale of betrayal and rescue and love,

happily-ever-after in the northern sky,

the gods immortalized in the stars.
