They Should Have Sent A Poet
Nebular night dawns,
miraculous pneumatic,
womb full of wonder.
Prodigal star burns,
more powerful than the Sun,
drunk on Milky Way.
Behemoth rises,
iron-heart stellar giant,
weapon of chaos.
Supernova shines,
a celestial sacrifice,
erupting twilight.
Armageddon fades.
Halo slips into the black…
belly of the beast.
