Sizzling syzygy
Celestial bodies align
Opposites attracting
Planets revolving in motion
In line
For an occurrence divine
Hearts beat
As drums pound out
The rhythm of the divine
Two hearts lie in epirrhematic syzygy
Like two cells joined together sublime
One body rotates in line with the other
Free from the robes of shame
The sun, the moon, the earth
The same
Entering into synergetic
Syzygy
Vowels behind us
Linked in orbit
Of Lewis Carol mysteries
Lifting up from mundane miseries
Syzygy
It’s not a board game
But a planetary
Check mate
End game solution
Syzygy
Melting into new life

The term epirrhemantic syzygy refers to the patterns that Aristophanes wrote his plays especially his comedy "Frogs". In simple terms it is two halves reciting a song in symmetry leaving the audience in a complete paradox.
The word SYZYGY referring to the alignment of the planets does not stop there but extends to the way of looking at human life and even literature.
The end of the poem is a joke using two non astronomical cases of syzygy. One is the syzygy Lewis Carol would use in his puzzles. Second is the tablebase syzygy used as an algorithm that a computer uses to finish a chess game.
