Sparking
by Gerald England
(for Joy R.)
we move in different circles
you and i
running rings around each other
snatching at tangents
that turn into curls
which spiral outwards
aiming for stars
we cannot reach
sometimes we spin
in opposite directions
and sink into a vortex
from which there is
no escape
one day
a tiny spark
will ignite the flames
that lie dormant in our hearts
fusing together
a mobius strip
then there will be no sides
just an infinite continuum
we will travel along together
into your moonless space
