in silent orbit, i pull your ocean tides

without demand, mark your months

with my phases and on the night

of the eclipse you took me fully

in darkness, painted me

in the blood of your dreams

I didn't resist your advance

when the weight of your shadow

covered me in hushed moments

of cosmic delight, i held my breath

i didn’t feel the light but felt a pulse,

my craters fill with burning desire

my surface turned copper red

as you held me tight, allowed me

to embrace the heat without apology

and when i see the sun again

fire lights the way, we'll rumba

like lovers through the day
