Syzygy

We oppose each other

you and I

but we are one

and form a line

of stars, a constellation

of antonyms, paradox

and counterpoints

the union of our souls

in syzygy

we complement

and contemplate

each other’s hold

the push and pull

wibble and wobble

of gravity

as if we were

in love.
