Astronomy 101
by Janet Scott McDaniel
gravitational pull
gently felt
before the needle
ticked on the meter
subtle shift in energy
attention
light
new planet hypothesis
proven
by gradual decline
of words upon the page
infrequent hellos
distance
of body
mind
heart
universe expanding
one declines
another grows
it always will
being
kinetic
not static
life exists
on more
than just one planet
that’s the theory
anyway
to that end
I love you
enough
to let go
