Binary

maybe what we are is, we're
in orbit around each other

and that orbit is the center
of everything else around us

and that orbit is why we can't touch:
our centers of gravity
our magnetic fields

there's too much gravity
too much energy.

if we touch, there will be solar flares
of such magnificence

and a black hole
and the universe,

the universe will end.

or we'll become like one sun,
two suns in a stable orbit

there will be one center
and that center

that center might hold.

if we remember to touch
if we remember

each other.
