As She stood outside,
the silence was deafening.
Nothing was quiet,
but no sound was made.
How she narrowed her eyes to the horizon,
her face,
guarded with shade.
As Her fingers twitched slightly,
a wind picked up pace.
Her hair whipped and rippled,
hitting her face.
The leaves started to rise,
as Her lips moved with grace.
When Her legs gave out,
so did the wind.
Nothing was quiet,
and Her life came to an end

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
