The Fall
I watched the last star fall
Eons after the
penultimate human
Drew her final breath
I watched the nebulae
Dissipate like smoke
Once the bright nursery
Of that final star
A mother giving up
Her children to dark
She spawned all the pinpoints
The last eyes had seen
Megaannum had long passed
Before her last child
Saw singularity
Finally collapse
It would not go gentle
It burned in the…sky?
No that’s not right, no sky
Still it burned, boldly
The last child left to mourn
The death of the light
And as it folded in
I remained, The Last
Foredoomed to see the end
Adrift in the void
