Orbiting the Hole

Satelite swinging around the sun
No light given; reflecting none
Now empty host, now airless stone
Now wandering lost, cold and alone
This unsparkeling jewel; this dayless night
This gravitational pull, this starlit plight
Creeping through unending time, space so vast
Anchored still to loss-engravened past
Not remembered, not forgotten, forever here
Circling the stars forever, never there.
