NASA Research Confirms Saturn is Losing its Rings i ask the earth everyday what it feels like to have creatures crawling across her what kind of company an organism can be i want just one if i could have just a single warm body i might believe the colors of my surface i would name that animal tell them stories about how i've watched all the other planets the earth with its blue blue bones angry red-eye jupiter uranus her light quiet halo i want to give her everything: the words i've spoken towards solar glow the pieces of space & star i've collected to make myself less lonely i don't want to hoard particles anymore you can't take these things with you when you fall into yourself our lives are too short for that i imagine the pieces finding their way to her collection her rings growing thicker & thicker as i watch from a distance as i speak towards her hoping one or two words land close enough for her to know me i ask the sun as i turn why he made us so so far apart i run my fingers through my rings touch space objects to feel alive i imagine all us bodies close together our competing gravities our memories rippling in each other's skin all the animals on earth i could reach down add them to my rings tell them how much i have loved them how their short determined lives have made me want give away my objects replace them with organisms earth tells me their bodies are warm
