In the corner of my mind and my eyes
Dark and murky visions arise
The tangle and dance
Making me strain every muscle of my being
They continue dancing, they linger
They stay, no rush
I close my eyes and wrestle my mind
Just want to sleep tonight
I close my eyes, pretend to sleep
My mind turns on
The wildest one
Shadows creep deep inside
There is no escape, at least for tonight
The shadows win
I open my eyes
The fear is something I give them
Like a gift they require to live
I wish I could stop
And pretend they didn’t exist

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.
