The Black Hole

"...sub-atomic particles, escaping to dance..."

The Black Hole

The black hole wrapped
in silence, dense in gravity
swallowing stars that

can’t escape. Swirling
mass, with sub-atomic
particles, escaping

to dance at the edge
of the event horizon,
Hawking radiation

where the negative
of you is sucked into the
hole, while I become

the real particle and you
continue your destruction.
