Retrograde (collab)

By Cassa Bassa and Bree Leto

Inspiration erupted
when you crashed into my orbit
I should’ve been glowing
and we should’ve been shining
Instead
We are going backwards
and I am watching myself in retrograde
Shrinking into the dark spot 
Tainting the silver moon

I wish 
some strings were not pulled
some turns were not taken
I wish
the luminescence of your existence
was enough to light our path

Two hearts aligned
should have beat into
a new song of tomorrow
But as you shift forward
I drift backwards
alone


Cassa is a brilliant poet and friend. It was a delight to collaborate once again.

Here are our other collabs: Thesaurus of Blank Pages, Indecent, Words, Friendship, Beach Bliss
