being dragged across the cosmos

chained to thy master, gravity

one force pulls another along

and is itself yet pulled

spiraling

circling

held in by fiery reigns

a captive of ageless motion

a screaming juggernaut

even time must give way

cursed to be continuous

even in death

tethered to the vortex

a prisoner of an ever-expanding cell

a child of the lost singularity

this dancing of mass and heat

a lesson in utter ruination

tethered to the vortex
