Marriage of Earth and Antares
By Richard H. Fay
Fallen star
Two worlds meet
When human greets Antaran
In a meld of minds
And hearts
Soft trills
Speak to my soul
With far deeper understanding
Than mere words
Ever could
Bug eyes
Blazing with knowledge
Of the secrets of the cosmos
Look into my own
Adoringly
Shaggy fur
Glows in the dark
In tune with her emotions
And keeps us warm
At night
Some think
She's only my pet
I smile at their ignorance
Knowing she's truly
My mate
