don't despair if the earth is failing you:
you can find everything we were
on the galilean moons.
ganymede is when I met you,
when my heart could fit mercury in it
just because of how your lashes curled.
io's volcanic activity burst free
when we loved and it burned red,
lava thrusting out of its core.
europa is the look you would have given me,
had you bothered to look back
when I clenched my fists and withered.
now, you are jupiter and I am callisto -
the fourth and the farthest,
heavily cratered,
with only scraps of your magnetic field.
