Black Hole

BLACK HOLE

 

I used to go through life quite flat-footed. Back

then, the sidewalk would stick to my heels,

but I’ve grown up quite a bit, touching the stars

way up here. Far below there’s Earth, still kicking.

My body? It’s being nebulous and probably

stretching all over the Milky Way right now.

 

My heart is somewhere in the middle, and it’s

awfully wide. In fact, there’s a huge gap in my

chest and I’m breathing the Universe in and out

night and day. A black hole is all that I really am,

and I’ve dropped all contact with matter for sure,

but hey, I’m enjoying my space here immensely.
