Interplanetary Romance by Chauncey Dandridge
are you revolving around me or am I revolving around you?
I'm willing to absorb it
if you decide to stick around in my orbit.
I've traveled light years only to be
caught in this slow dance
your heavenly body and mine
a supernova happenstance
under me
over you
what are we to do with
this
our interplanetary romance.
i’ve searched the planets
and shimmied with the moons
the sun is our disco ball
as we listen to atomic tunes
i saw you across the cosmos
and you looked back at me through your telescope
this is bigger than anything i’ve ever dreamed of
I've traveled light years only to be caught in this slow dance
your heavenly body and mine
a supernova happenstance
under me
over you
what are we to do with
this
our interplanetary romance.
i’ve renamed stars
and chased a comet or two
the universe is such a happy place
since i’ve collided with you
are you revolving around me or am I revolving around you?
I'm willing to absorb it
if you decide to stick around in my orbit.
I've traveled light years only to be caught in this slow dance
your heavenly body and mine
a supernova happenstance
under me
over you
what are we to do with
this
our interplanetary romance.
