LOVE STORY

watched the Sun
go down

what are the odds
that next morning
would
find it taking
its
own good
time to
pop up again

lazy Sun
stay in bed
Sun
(and today
not a Sunday)

unless
that 3I cosmic
interloper
up to
something

tearing dear Sun
away to
old dream
of much greater love

hand in hand
Sun and 3I
heading
into the sunset

leaving us
in the dark, real dark
worse than
what dark our species
has been much enduring lately

trying to devise
what this visitor
us about

now hijacking our star
off on some interstellar romance
