What orbit is this?
Where are we?
Am I orbiting you?
Or are you circling me?
How far we have gone
doing the same thing?
Does my change
change our orbit?
Does it change you to me?
Do you know who I am?
Can you still feel me?
My rotation has stopped
time is all I can see.
Are you there?
Where were we?
Who were we then?
What space is this now
here in between?
I peeked
I peaked
I crept along fine.
Crawled over the sun
hands and knees on fire.
My belly got burnt
my heart cleaned in flame
then I leapt into space
off to orbit again.
