Don’t tell the Sun I’m cheating on him with Saturn

And sometimes Vega

And never Jupiter

Probably

Such nonsensicals

It is the truth that the planets and stars are the only ones who get to know the depth of my love for them

Poured into thick in and dripping over the pages

I can love them with a deafening silence, with a silence scream, and never feel judgement for it

Never care whether rocks and balls of fire care for love

If you could know my joy upon seeing them,

Simply by knowing they are here with me

My twinkling diamonds, my precious stones

Imagine if they were really mine

What a world I would make
