Retrograde

This is the 7th poem written with Bree Leto. It has always been a joy to write with Bree.

Inspiration erupted
when you crashed into my orbit
I should’ve been glowing
and we should’ve been shining
Instead
We are going backwards
and I am watching myself in retrograde
Shrinking into the dark spot
Tainting the silver moon

I wish
some strings were not pulled
some turns were not taken
I wish
the luminescence of your existence
was enough to light our path

Two hearts aligned
should have beat into
a new song of tomorrow
But as you shift forward
I drift backwards
alone

  1. This is sooooo good! Way to go. The above comment is me, too, but for some reason I’m never logged in for like last 10 months. I’m finally annoyed by whatever is the reason it keeps happening. Alas, that’s partly why I’m not leaving as many comments. This is great!
