Esperanza Spalding

Love, I wonder if we'll see
The day our Earth is swallowed by the Sun

But it's lightyears away
And, no, not for those
Who know by name the suns you
Burn into, then never see again
And they're spiralling into
Oblivion

"But it's lightyears away, " you say
But gravity still pulls his thread
Across the black abstract
I've learned to love instead

Love
Let's promise us a song
Between the sun of all desired
And the gold wrap me
