Black Hole

Somewhere out there, now, is a picture of

A faraway place

Remote, black, cold

Alien

Somewhere out there, now, a malevolent vacuum

Swirls, crushing all matter, imbibing each and

Every atom; the cruellest of throats, expressionless

Muting all

Somewhere out there, now, light is annihilated by

Darkness, interred inside a coffin of

Grinning brimstone, a bleak

Sombre exit

Somewhere out there, now, a belligerence of

Nature, pre-primeval, inhales and

Life is sucked away, Worlds are

Sunk like balls in the last

Pool Hall of eternity  

Somewhere out there, once, a field,

A swing, laughter…

Gone…
