She drifts out, so far

As she can go. He watches,

Sure she'll be drawn back.

Is it natural

To be so distant just when

You’d promised me warmth?

Fingers of space pull

Drag us further to darkness

Must return to Sun

A blue balloon in space

Faceless Icarus reaches zenith

Pressures on balloon’s thin skin

Heat rises. Sun meltdown waxes.

Aphelion recalled implosion-explosion.

The dangling string recalled .

Gravity justified.

Like a Greek god's label

Or from a fable

Longing to be close... 😎
