charon

far from the sun
i can't see its light or feel its heat
it has dissipated millions of miles behind us
there are too many jealous planets to feed
the gas giants want it all

and all there is left for us are the scraps
scarce and faint rays of light

among the misery pluto nourishes for itself
among all the solitude pluto feels for itself

there i am

i am the sole body which accompanies this lonely planet
i am the love and devotion which binds us together

i found the one where there only could be one
in this underworld i found the ruler of emptiness
the god of the underworld in his reign of loneliness

we can only survive as one
we can only endure this freezing isolation if
we can embrace each other as one

i am charon and i love the dwellers of the deep
i am charon and i love the bearers of coldness and grief
