Magpie Tales 249: Lensing

Wary glance from supernova eyes
shining a ring around the black hole

anchoring the center of a galactic heart

It feels at a distance this lenticular caress,
bent, arcing over the interstellar chasm
separating love from fulfillment

Gravity warps, accelerates, casts out
time and distance, bright recognition
of love laying, waiting for our fall

  7. Yes. We use the expression; 'falling in love' but we seem to concentrate on the 'love' and don't quite take in the 'fall' that often awaits.
