Lightly

it’s dark because you are trying too hard 
lightly child, lightly  learn to do everything lightly 
i was so preposterously serious in those days
that’s why you must walk so lightly 

lightly my darling
eventually everything connects
don’t use all-or-nothing thinking 
love is a burning thing--phosphorescent

when the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together 
how did i fall so hard again
in the next instant we’d be in absolute solitude 
until we burned up and became nothing
