rogue planet
I risk running aground
My black anchor
pants pink
but she has no chain
I lost our map to the desert
I will not go with the dog
for nights of silent stars
She could not share my memory
I am a rogue planet
could harbor life
for want a sun’s warmth
She and I dog paddle
I breathe five breaths
to count me present
push against the water’s depth
