A review by baancs
Honeybee by Trista Mateer

emotional reflective

Do you think moons really love
the planets they circle around—
like in that poem we used to read
to each other?

I’ve been thinking: maybe they’re
just stuck. Maybe they don’t
know how to let go either. Maybe
gravitational pull is just code for
I don’t know how to be away from
you—but on a massive scale.

Like, baby, I know we don’t work
together. I just forget how to be a
moon when you’re not around.

Of love and letting go.
