You were cut out for me.

Like diamonds from
a meteor spinning
in the galaxy’s depths.
But when we crashed
through the atmosphere
conjoined together
we harnessed a violence
that would burn down the earth.

So I cut you off from me.

And now we’ll float
through the ages
just shiny carbon and alien rock
in parallel lives
and misaligned space-time
entangled forever
by powers beyond us
until our very galaxy’s death.
