anytime in the next 7 years
before squirrels lose their paws
and the Milky Way waltzes away
like before a canvas or a page
we'll come and go together
this masterpiece of love
picture a harmonious display
an astronomers' party with stars
a helium balloon to lift us up
you'll be on time for once
and I'll be racing to catch you
when we leave this planet laughing
ah, astrophysics of the heart - always a hit with me
ReplyDeleteHa. The cardiology
Deleteof the stars? You're on!
:)
And when we reach the exosphere
ReplyDeletewe will don our chutes
step out into the curve of the world
and fall into a field in the west
where the mice look up
ReplyDeleteand the kangaroos scatter
and I believe we land togther
a few ales in the public bar
ReplyDeletebut there is mostly silence
when we finally go home
ReplyDeletethere is unaccountable laughter
we make love and fall asleep
