our cosmos grows into nothing
like air blown into a black balloon.
stretches indefinitely,
pulling planetary bodies further and further
apart, into darkness.
soon, the isolated stars
will burn in hermitage,
and emptiness will fasten
itself into our galaxy,
making playgrounds for asteroids
and swing sets that comets can ride,
across a vast and voided sky
lit by not one
firefly.
