`
i was born between the legs of septimus
my mother caught me,
used her set of stellar hands,
baptized under the name of virgoan,
educated me with templed words,
and lately
i found myself asking where to find
a maiden named solace.

Lovely poetry, and a very creative take on the prompt. The last line is so wonderful... i think many of us have asked that very same question. I really liked this.
Beautiful.
