Let this be our last shared thrust my love,
as Jupiter spews forth molten rock
and Io pushes forward to receive.
God said: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places:
let our deaths join us.
I sink as gravity's heaviness makes me unable to breathe and i feel you near,
reach out your hand and guide me again to your side.
Eternity awaits, I long to journey far beyond our solar system
and float with you and enjoy celestial twinklings
as the stars brush against our fingers
and primordial dust manufactures our children.
