Cross Off The Stars

I have raced ahead of Mercury’s sunrise for 58 days straight

I have surfed the waves of Maui and summited Everest

Ran the equator of Mars

Escaped ice pirates on Ceres

Hopped from one Galilean moon to the next

Flew like a bird in the skies of Titan

Floated in the rings of Saturn

Watched the geysers of Enceladus rain down from above

Base jumped off Veronas Rupes

Dreamt of Alpha Centauri

I did all of this with you

And now I embark on a one way trip to the surface of Venus, for

I have already been crushed by love.
