Small blue marble
lost on a black velvet cloth
the earth
to an astronaut
like an atlas
come alive
with life & living
passing now over
the Pacific Coast
now specificly
over us
our love
visible from outer space
our kisses
marching across borders
earthy and full
of passion
each kiss like
a Great Wall of China
me kneeling now
at your Nile delta
as the astronaut
blushes and turns away.
New moon over
our left shoulder.
