Orbit

Just because I’m no longer visible
to the naked eye

doesn’t mean
I’m not still here,

that some kind of life
isn’t viable.
 
Magnify, and you’ll discover
how I shadow my time

like that wobble of light
from a distant star

that proves the unknown
planet’s existence –

its year-long days,
its hypothetical water.

that proves the unknown
