O Again: 8. Virgo

O Again


8.
O Virgo (the other one)

O Virgo.
O Dike, warning us 
and fleeing to the hills.
O Atargatis, Erigone.
(Look it up.)

O Spica,
Alpha Virginis,
Virgo’s grain, 
not eclipsing,
mutually interacting.

O Virgo:
Silver Earth sign.
Could you anyhow
be the Mother we hail,
still full of grace?
