In a Solar System Somewhere

a tongue-in-cheek look at the idea that we are completed by our love and desire for another person.

Will the sun 
keep its distance 
when you rise 
in my east? 
I might break in two 
if you weren't already 
my other side; 
I might slip into chaos 
if you weren't already 
tranquility. 
Yes, Helios will hide 
his face somewhere 
in the space between  
east and west with 
all the other stars.
