in orbit, around her

A Jealous Venus

gripping the moon,
leverage is everything
when climbing the stars

my one hand waving free,

for her a hoist
to break loose
from gravity

solar wind blowing through her hair
distant starlight catching her eyes

even an ever-expanding, bible black universe
cannot contain her heavenly beauty

a jealous venus spins away beyond our sight
seeing the sun has begun to revolve around my love
