extravasation

extravasation 

Breathless, in the solar plexus 

of a black hole, two neutron stars 

spin in this pulsar heart;

drawing down our horizon of light-time

unto the edge of our insignificance, 

minuscule, and so very, very dark.

Spiralling in this milky backwater,

we may yet find consolation, 

even in the profound silence,

of the big bang.
