Metamorphoses
Now Orion arises east
And the Moon is under Pisces
Which was an underwater beast
Of Mediterranean crises,
But now in heaven it still swims
Keeping company with dead gods
Who mostly had superior limbs
Like Orion's over developed quads,
Used for striding interstellar space
Where the gods maintain some glory,
And if they had their lungs and face
They'd treat us to old oratory...
Regarding strange transfigurations
Up into modern constellations!
