The Sun converses with the skies:
Look upon my solar system whose heat and light I create.
Nine, plus or minus, revolve around me.
their life is by my solar nebula, self-sacrifice.
Even the moons numbering more than one hundred and fifty-eight
are gravitationally bound to me.
Of my celestial objects, I’ll seek advice.
Through creation’s influence, I have been endowed, of late
to bend to my will, asteroids, meteoroids, planetoids too,
comets, giant planets, and even interplanetary dust,
even a light year away from the Opik-Oort cloud
where they say that comets come to me, born new.
even as far as the Kuiper belt my power is thrust.
From amongst them, I’ll find a matchmaker, avowed
for my charismatic magnetism,
a force of orbital motion, my gravity!
I am a supernova, a fusion maker!
In my fascinating fascism,
the animate Earth shall choose a match for me,
One who is a giver, not a taker!
