In adolescence, I saw Jupiter.

He was alluring in the dark,
offering smoke and excitement.
We danced and cackled through the high,
pointing fingers and lashing out
to bolster ourselves.

I found my peace without entropy,
and he moved away to chase more confrontation,
revelling in the name of darkness.

In adulthood, I saw jupiter.

She was attractive in the light,
delivering analysis and closure.
We entwined and consoled through the anxiety,
turning noses and quietly denouncing,
to bolster ourselves.

I found my peace without entropy,
and she moved away to chase more condemnation,
revelling in the name of light.

In my future I will see jupiter:
distant, and still boiling.
It may visit me again,
revolving to show either its dark or light sides,

but i will refuse its entropy
with no need to bolster myself.
