Jovian Meteorite

Diving, hot.
I cannot stop.
White, and glowing.
Going down.
A meteorite of fire and light.
My destiny is death,
tonight.

My target far below is smoke,
and dust.
A planetary heart to thrust
at and kill.
To fly into a world until I melt,
or smite.
To die in fire and light.
My destiny is death,
tonight.

I see the stars, my mother.
The Earth, its crystal seas shine.
The Sun, sublime.
The moon, my brother.
My fate,
and wish I had another.

I see the end, again.
Poor Jupiter.
I'm sorry for the pain,
old friend.
