The Planets Suite.

The Planets Suite.

Celestial bodies

In perpetually

Relational motion

Never quite in repose

Do they come together

Gently merge

Collapse one into the other

Impact violently

Split the atom

Create fusion

Tear the heavens

Asunder

With little purpose

When violent confrontation

Begets division

A false dichotomy

Between two objects

With much to lose

More inclined

To seek union

Heavenly cast

Peacemakers

Creating futures

Usurping retribution

Countering resistance

In favour of an emergence

Beyond mere coexistence
