Skipping Stones to Andromeda
Mr . Barnett
You drag the very space around you into you A magnet attracted to itself
The only way left that I know To send love is to skip a stone It seems
You and I are two galaxies that don ’ t know We are destined to crash into each other letting our stars spin madly through space Each of us missing the black holes that lie at the other ’ s center Sometimes it is easy to forget the great weight at our cores My heart spinning like a pulsar Your heart shrouded in nebula All you see of me — Blips of light in a cloudy darkness A lightyear just a stone ’ s throw through space And still it seems I am the only thing
Escaping your gravity
