I.
along the highway
we passed the black holes
of burned out stars
black stars
holes in the universe
where love has gone wrong
and even the light can’t escape
and even the light can’t escape
and even the time is running backward
and even the time is running backward
and even the time slips away
negative universe
a storm within your eyes
where the weight of dying stars
accumulates
along the highway
we saw the black holes
of burned out stars
black stars
the light of dying suns
II.
beyond the event horizon
lies a world we can never know
beyond the event horizon
lies a world of beginnings and endings
that we can see but can never enter into
for we are trapped by the gravity
of a dead star collapsing on itself
in an orbit growing ever smaller
a world so tormented it can not
escape even from itself
a world that has already become invisible
and soon will cease to exist
beyond the boundary
we passed contaminated
oil; refineries
illuminated by the orange flare
of petroleum fires
near a deserted train yard
the rusted tracks bear witness
to a world that has never been
our car headlights speed
through pitch blackness
searching for survivors
refugees from a world that cannot be seen
though it be only a few feet away
a world of singularity
undetectable but by its influence
on surrounding bodies
their orbits distorted by the
massive gravity field
III.
on our way to the city
we saw the black holes
of burned out stars
black stars
the light of dying suns
