the star was single in his sphere
phenomenon unrivalled
no ex, no why, no zet to fear
before its bulk collided
with other matter in his realm
concerned and deeply troubled
he felt, no longer at the helm
bewitched and being doubled
but certain matter must decline
and end up as debris
since gravity will not entwine
for all eternity
the star is back to where he was
each day a great adventure
no act, no word, no other cause
and certainly no censure
