"in april orion hangs up his belt like" by Kyra Jee in @orionsbeltmagazine.bsky.social Summer 2026 First of all, what a wonderfully appropriate poem for Orion's Belt! But what draws me in: it's playful, lyrical, delightfully visual, full of desire. Read it for a taste of what a constellation wants.
