we check our watches
we check our watches
quickly and slowly, as if
we were astronauts
beyond escape velocity,
pulling a fast one on time

secured in
out of courtesy,
out of courtesy,
we are one another’s textbook
spiral galaxies,
lit with intrinsic structure,
not wholly predictable

during the Perseids,
during the Perseids,
my heart wanders back to
January 2012,
predawn, unreasonably
cold, cutting
our teeth on the
Quandrantids,
and how
crisp every wish
sounded, riding
to the airport, caught
between staying
and leaving,
and disregarding
these astronomical
hints to impact events

outside our solar
we allow one another
we allow one another
to explode
like supernovas
to gauge the distance
from which we have
grown – and still,
the detonation
catches us
off guard,
reminds us of how
strong we have become
in each other’s light

the heart often
the heart often
lingers dutifully
in orbit,
breaks off
pieces of
memory when
hungry, stays
close to avoid
missing
any shooting stars

in place of the sun
in place of the sun
or the moon
in our town,
we have the
empire state to the
north, the one
world trade
to the south.
in place of the
tranquility of
non-attachment,
we have anchored
ourselves in the
center divvying
up a flood
of memories
