Repulsion

heat between our shimmering backs
created by the angry negation of our polarities two
magnets drawn far apart
cometlike
to different orbitals
a mutual jettison of space waste accelerating
too fast for entropy or loneliness to catch
up with us we are screaming with delight
luxuriating in the speed of our separation
we are riding the frequencies of our screams
we have entirely forgotten one another
we have been annihilated by the blissful
shockwaves that repulsion creates
morphed by the excitement, we are smeared
and neutralized we hang starlike for an instantaneous six months
crystalline and beautiful we wonder
and slowly, hanging
we regain harmony and quietly our polarities tire
of the pretense that interference creates to remember
that once it was separateness that drew us together and it was not ourselves
nor the orbits we complacently trace but the false idolatry that made us think
we were the same

repulsive creature from whom we both fled.
