Poetry by Jill Trade


The Precession of the Equinoxes

No need to blast off to find a new home,
The precession of the equinoxes
Will usher in lands older than Rome.
No need to blast off to find a new home,
All we need is right here under the dome,
Look to the zodiac sequences.
No need to blast off to find a new home,
The precession of the equinoxes.
