Vacuum
We spin in the vastness between galaxies
held
and lost
in empty space
you are far away from me
We turn and twist
collide, attract, repel
as infinitesimal electrons
whirl in webs of invisible forces
in lots of nothing much
you are shaped so different from me
even as our bodies fit together nicely
curled on the sofa
connected
but still alone
a part of each other
and yet apart
