they forgot the future
and deserted the past when
they were pulled apart
so sharply.
all that was on their mind
was each other.
not 1,000 more shocks
of the destabilizer
no,
not a million more
could break that love!
they stood together
sharing words
and kisses
and complementing each other's
asymmetry
like halves of a whole
(because together
they were whole
and apart
they were halves)
they were dancing!
twirling, stepping on the ground
and stepping in the air
and laughing because
they knew what they were doing
and soon enough they glowed
and were lifted up
the smile still on their faces
and when they were done
their third eye
saw
a perfect future
just them
and the glowing stones
on each palm
of the beautiful fusion
armed at the ready
to protect what she loved
(rose's starry eyed boy
just watched in awe
because he'd learned)
to protect Earth
(what she'd been doing for
almost 7,000 years
at rose's command)
to protect each other
(their fusion was so
stable! stable to sing
and fight).
not a million years
have found such
perfection!
