Planetoids

Becky Armoto

 

Alone

we orbit each other,

a binary

system, united, attracted.

All that is

left: us. The earth is gone.

We no longer

acknowledge the sun

or moon,

so actively engaged

with one another.

We become.

 

When we met,

we said there was no

such thing

as love. Or maybe there

is.
