I looked up and saw Orion
Belt and sword
Outstretched arms
Grounded stance
floating in the heavens on Christmas Eve
I want to be Orion
Weightless and brilliant
On-the-ready
No one able to pull me down
But I am mortal and not Orion
Tethered and uncertain
Tripping and scraping
Serving food and drink on an empty stomach
Marivic Pinedo
