a bitter ditch
stands broad between us
two countries
conflicting ideals
and enough water
between the two to flood
a lesser universe
and still love
blossoms to bloom
God's magic
is our salvation
I am enamored of the beauty
of such unlikely meeting
two perfect pieces
floating together
to find a ferociously welcome
fit
Andromeda hailed her Orion
and in all his hunting
he paused a moment
to heed her call
sat down his arrows
and bow
to come forth
and take her in his arms
all aglow
we glitter all a new
'tis the magic of the constellations
