Venus

~Venus~

 

No, sweetheart,
you aren't really from Venus,
nor is your mother,

but I will be pained
when you believe those
who say you can never go there.

 

Let's you and I
walk to the park,
where I'll push you on a swing,

and, while you're in the air
over sand and grass,

we'll pretend you smile and wave
from the evening star,
as I wave back 
from my lonely, blue world.
