i knew the sun
but he knew the fire.
smudged gold kisses strung like dancers round his skylight face -
he was a blur and he was a moment and we tried to catch him
our hands still smolder.

 retro cadere nequit
he crashes ahead to break through the fence, streamers engulf his wildfire
we follow, his sheep, for how could he mistake the way?

he craves the finish;
his whirlwind tints the edges of his vision crimson
as his horns blast away those sulky branches of uncertainty and hesitation.

 est furor eius
and we know those hand grenades lining his fleece will pave our paths
with bloody mars smearing the ichor out his eyes
yes i’ve met the sun
but he is a fire.
for =Sammur-amat's contest, written in the stars. so i kinda do like this one...?
i tried to mention a lot of different aspects of an aries - how they are fast moving and reckless, but natural leaders, and how mars is their patron planet, and red is their color. aries's element is fire, so i tried to bring that in too. hope you like it!
