look, there’s that blue planet

look, there’s that blue planet again

the one with the face of a woman

and that tiny white moon

with the face of a man

no wonder they’re always side by side

by rounded side

too attracted to each other

for either to go away but each going

her or his own way, revolving, rotating

but sticking close - how funny

their gyrations look from here

I can’t imagine what their inhabitants

if they have any

see from where they are

laughing family

laughter of cousins now distant

in location but close in caring

the warmth of siblings’ support

and knowing each other’s strength

and pain

a lunch together, rare

a sharing of love, thankfully, joyous
