A single glance of yours suffices to launch me
at the speed of light,
a wedge into the heart of Space.
A single kiss of yours suffices
to transform me into a flaring quasar,
a brute luminary of the Universe.
A subtle aversion of yours suffices
to dispatch me breathless,
an extinguished ember into Tartarus.
A sweet word of yours suffices
to return me to joy
and set me in a steady orbit around you,
my small, habitable planet.
