Soft-light,
the earth has plucked you
out of orbit;
shattered your silver mirror
to to see his own reflection
brimming tidal
in your eyes. he has claimed
your crater-edge bones and
for a handful of moments,
called it his right.

perhaps, he fancied
himself a luna-lover,
or desired
an eclipse in your
soul so you only see
him.

your mother, she warned you
of first love and broken hearts,
since aren’t they the same thing,
after all?

this universe cannot make you
listen, and wait -
hear how the cosmos
hold fast to their breath, stardust
stopped, galaxies motionless;
they know, i know
the inevitable is coming.

for the earth revolves reverently
around Apollo’s light,
and the moon
dances dizzily in earth’s wake,

but never, never will the
earth orbit the moon,
or love
you.

(this stellar seduction will not last)

beam yourself up
before gravity
drags you down.
