Dwarf Planet
Ronan Harkins

You only saw me as a vagabond among the stars

I made like Icarus toward any sign of  hope

I’d drown with you in Neptune’s waters 

We’ll swing amongst the debris of  asteroids and tilt their orbit

We can honeymoon on Venus

They are the only two planets in your solar system without a moon
They look only to you

Than anything that could ever grow inside of  me

I long for the day that you’ll reach out with burning hands

To have never touched the ones you love
