Satellite

Listen to poem:
At the center of my orbit, You were Jupiter, huge, remote, Surface roiled by raging storms. I was a dim, distant moon -- A tiny ice-bound clod Eternally held at bay -- Still, snared inescapably By your awful gravity.

once again, short and powerful. I like the metaphors of Jupiter and you being a moon. the gravity of this poem is profound.
