gravity keeps me
He is an astronaut.
Not the cosmonaut of spacecraft boarded and braved.
There is no scientific reason of why, I was the one saved.
He remains free, like an atom lost, found and floating.
And I am his after burn.
I have watched him leave and return and it hurts to say goodbye, though as he fades, electric and untouchable, I am amazed.
I am this planet and he is the next and nowhere in between do we ever hold hands, there is no place where we explore together.
He is an astronaut; of my life, my breath and my being.
I am a gasp.
A molecule still joined.
And as I stand on the earth, gravity keeps me, whilst my morning eyes trick me into believing that it never happened.
We disintegrate,
Until next time.

Such wonderful imagery full of love 2
whoaa. so darn good. a fab piece, I love the whole science/planet/universe theme of this.
My favourite lines are I am this planet and he is the next and nowhere in between do we ever hold hands, there is no place where we explore together.
I initially read explode not explore. For in this science/space/atmosphere/molecule equation there are so many compelling questions. You have written something oblique and so so interesting Nic – love that it has many levels, complexity and is open to reader interpretation. Fabulous writing – love love love this one xxx
It keeps me too. xox
Wow fantastic. Really felt the rawness in the emotion and the ending was just so fitting. Peace to you :)
Clever and well done
