If Gravity Loves Us So Much

You wish it were wonder
Keeping the stars apart.
If your orbit speeds up,

Given what you orbit
Curves the universe more
Than you do but orbits

Some curve even deeper
Than its own you orbit,
Your speed will carry you

Off in the dark, further
And farther, and some field
Must orbit all others

Or must not. You don’t know.
You don’t know. You wonder
What keeps the stars apart.
