E is for EndlesS

In my book of poems, EndlesS, the title poem was inspired by a science program about black holes. The scientist was taking about the possibility of white holes, anomalies that are connected to black holes and spew forth the material a black hole collects. A wormhole as it were. The scientist thought the odds were against their existence, but the possibility is fascinating. Particularly if brave travelers attempt the trip ...

EndlesS

black in the sky black sound in the mouths of those who stare blindly

at spiraling void descending on jagged wings soundless screams

swallowed by endless hunger the awful infinity of the void

requires our presence in the last dance Hawkings

would approve as the events of our lives

vanish beyond the horizon spiraling

down into eternity beyond

which we cannot see

divide by zero

divide by

zero

o

the

stars like

a thousand diamonds

but I see your face and laugh

I kiss your face and laugh and angels

dance on pins the skies pour forth blinding light

and powers move upon the deep and the seraphim sing

as we hurl ourcometselves together our bodies feeding glowing

hunger gasps your hands grab my back we burn through pain sorrow

we’re falling flying soaring shouting exclaiming exclaim shout sigh breathe

and you turn to me eyes alive as we defiant can only be and say let’s do it again
