2 poems – night light

2 poems

eating at atlas cafe
---------------------
together we're heavy, our closeness yielding dark gravity
yet it is all unbearably light, a tragicomedy in levity

and so it is: that just one man alone can hold 
one man alone can hold the weight of the world

i heard some news today about the sun afar
astronauts were leading an expedition to our beloved star
skeptics warned:
  fools! it will be too hot,
  you'll be scathed by burning light
they replied:
  there is no trouble, there is no worry,
  we'll simply fly by night

(with kudos to Sarah)
