May 22- Binary

I grew up on a planet with two suns.

I grew up, a long time ago now, on a planet with two suns.

The orbital mechanics are complex.

Though usually, you can simply act as though the two stars are one.

The two heavenly bodies orbit each other; and you, them.

But I moved, again a long time ago now, to a planet with a meager single sun.

And though the alignments required to see them were rare and infrequent,

by god do I miss the twin sunsets.
