at the core supernova chain reaction




at the core
three-year tour
of nearby systems





camping out
at Sagittarius-A
bright nights

022819c

supernova live feed
astrophysicist winces
when the probe is destroyed

012019b

all the radioactive gold
you could ever want
twice the mass of Jupiter
from this one supernova
hot dawg!

010518

lone planet, lone star
50 million light years from anything
no wonder they developed

a solitary lifestyle
and sun worship

although
the Cult of Nullity
enjoyed widespread popularity
until every adherent
who could be found
was dispersed to the winds

The cult was suppressed
but continued  to resurface
through the dark and lonely years
centuries
millennia
until the star
cast off its outer portions
and vaporized the planet

this was noted
in distant galaxies
millions of years later

112718b

a
star
so bright
shines by day
burns with hot ions
I'd been told no supernovas
were primed to pop close enough to ever blast this place

042817

Maybe the geckos will appreciate it

Deep in a distant swirl

of stars and dust,

call it a galaxy,

a star exploded the day you were born.

Its light

will reach Earth

a billion years after the last

human dies.
