Space Between Us
Negotiating our closeness
Half human, half universe,
Made of distant worlds in different ways
Time and space dilate and expand, contract and sigh
We are the void and the nothingness between heavenly bodies
And our bodies are heavenly
As we move through the spaces of each other
Distant and near
Far but here
Listening while trying to hear over the song of the spheres
Reflecting in each other’s light
Orbiting, pulling closer
Until we collapse
