Luna

Sometimes she misses dancing,
the spotlight and the performance and the power.

She still uses certain moves
you know she perfected on stage.

You know she knows.
You can see it in the slightly wicked smile she smiles sometimes.

I've watched so many men fall into her. It's funny and bittersweet
and keeps this distance between us
that keeps our love safe.
We both pull people into our orbits and their eventual wreckage
is left to drift about us
as we hurtle along on the lonely trajectory that we chart through what we feel
to be our own private
and frighteningly empty
space.

She's perfect and untouchable
like the Moon before Man's landing.
