Dark Star

Dense.
A deep and powerful sound.
Immense forces pushing round.
Dull and dark.
Massive.
Heavy as a minotaur's heart
wrapped with chains of pity.
Vast immortal gravity.
The force of infinity.

All life and light
is sucked to a thin thread,
and killed inside.
Wrecked, torn.
Mashed into fragments of hope.
Tears of fireflies.
The last living grains turned to sand.
Crushed to nothing by God's hand.
