Pictured Valentine

There’s a picture on my wall
I’m always straightening
Of three yellow-red spheres
 
Or they could be apples
Or tomatoes not quite ripe
Or planets of a new order
 
Still bearing their umbilical cords
And a certain tendency
To slip to one side slightly
 
Against a black background
Just enough to get noticed
By my infinitely distant mind
 
Barely an inch in which
New galaxies are forming now
A perfect line
