She is organized in a way that’s unfathomable, An alluring contradiction, Both still as untouched water And expanding outward, reaching new spaces With her fingertips. You can’t see this because you’re too small. You claim to be down-to-earth; Just admit that you’re short for a man. There’s no shame in that.
She has the eyes of a madwoman And the body of someone more laid-back. You can try to ****** her but she is everywhere Above you and too far in-between. You meet a different part of her every night. You call her a different name, Yet every woman is the “same.”
Except for that one. She’s not like other girls. You discovered a new celestial body And now you have the right to name her After one of your favorite gods. Pick it out from a list, And tape it over her mouth.
You try to calculate her patterns, But since you met her it seems She has worn nine different faces, And in your sphere she dresses As too many species to name, So you think she should be tamed.
It’s true that she does less damage Than she is capable of, So test her limits, but remember That a galaxy doesn’t truly have an edge. She’s not a body you can lasso And pull towards you, Uncomfortably close. Like you, she is made of dust and ash And she breezes past you And goes her own merry way.
