Event Horizon

Heart falling into redshift
time doesn't seem to pass
outside eyes trace the blur
and wonder where it went

Inside eyes stare in disbelief
racing to a point down below
the infinite fall into a void
white-hot with radiation

The Watcher sees it fall
The Heart feels its slipping
Each reach out to the other
Yet nothing is to be done

Love, the collapsar, has burst
and one heart split into two,
yin and yang, singing, keening,
from opposite ends of the universe
