Come Back to Me
Come back to me
like sun meets horizon
and river rushes to meet shore.
The earth brims with great and tragic lovers,
and we should imitate them all.
To live as old and as wild as the hippie moon
come back to me, like humans always drawn back to the universe
tethered to their ships like umbilical cords
if only they let go, let the gaping mouth of a galaxy swallow them whole
maybe we'd know,
that love transcends time and space,
it eclipses a measly sun kissing a hundredth horizon,
a river rushing to a shore.
So come back to me, like humans come to chaos
and in the bellies of each universe,
we will fall in love,
over and over and over again.
