Dying Suns, Dying People

 

 

Dying Suns, Dying People

 

 

first
a white dwarf

 

then

a black dwarf

 

finally

a black hole

so dense

 

it pulls everything

into it

 

then there was grandpa

 

first

an oxygen mask

 

then

a morphine drip

 

finally

a last gasp

so faint

 

and everybody

moving away from him
