Skin Deep

The dust of a star 

and comets made mud.

We were formed into halves 

wanting to be whole.

The success of the species

is due to it's nature

In stars, and rivers, oceans, and mountains

we see it, we feel it, we deny it, we fantasize it...

attraction.

I'd take out that whole first stanza. For me, the poem really begins with the second.
