The physical proportions
They look like Saturn to me
but I’m hot on another planet
every time you get closer, closer
as Mars approaches
The red glow as my witness
and you turn into a meteor shower
Closer more so than the others
I am your Venus tickled pink.
Splintered with your brightness
A star doesn’t burn forever
Who would care when we have each other?
Halley’s comet couldn’t catch us
not since it hardly comes around often
Sometimes cold as Pluto
but really I don’t mean to
Only when the night is cloudy
do I get farther from Uranus and solar brothers
Eventually back I come to visit
Mercury and Neptune, until then
catch us on Jupiter
because learning to get closer, closer
has never taken so beautifully long
Moving slow after we land on Earth
It reaches the Sun’s rays no problem
