Black Hole Sonnet
Your heart is a star of immeasurable
Mass and infinite density
You’ve drawn into your depths
All matter— inanimate and flesh
And all the light of the universe
Save a single luminous beam.
I get as close as I can
Without falling all the way in
Time slows down near the edge
As I spiral around in ever tighter orbits
Until time seems to nearly stop—
Always our best chance to make it last
But in this moment just before time dies
There's only enough space for one of us
