Poem - The Conjurer's Black Hole


The Conjurer’s Black Hole



Time stills; it pulls your train to thread and gives

you space to stretch your legs and be adrift.

Event horizon thoughts; the world must yield.

Matter conflates, a scream of brakes redshifts.

No end, no time to give an end, white pearl

the moon is stilled, the void is coffin-black

your thoughts likes seeds will scatter back to earth;

her eyes, her shape, the time you kissed her back.

We cannot get outside our time to see

not even light, near truth, can now be reached.

My mind, these lines, black rising rain can be

a medium for inky ghosts to speak.

The conjurer can block my teeming pen

But elements of life erupt again
