SPINNING AROUND YOU

One big Sun

and seven moons

From our astronomical distance

that’s how I see you now:

The radiant, glowing beauty

 that charms my eyes

yes

(but also

the freshness, the mystery)

My nocturnal pace I keep in secrecy

while your dawn runs fugitive

from unforgiving time zones

Warm and cool,

Your touch reaches me all

fresh and pure and laughing.

And then gladly

I become 
your gracious satellite
