LIKE THE EARTH AROUND THE SUN

I revolve around you like the Earth around the Sun
and the tic-toc tic-toc of my heart
is one revolution
with every blink of the eye
and one orbit
one day at a time.
I spin so fast
that I make my own rings, from the air

like Saturn and Neptune.
I am
dizzy and giddy
at the sound of your voice
with Mercurial shoes,
ready to run to
the ends of the Earth-
for you.

"One orbit one day at a time" refers to taking things one day at a time and trying to survive the maelstrom of happiness and longing (and aching) just one day at a time.
