Sun Dies

By violetfyre

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The sun died the day I moved to this town.Helio-astronomy instantly became a thing of the past.NASA employees broke their clipboardsand threw down their white coats.Nothing would be the same.Eight minutes later we saw it, we saw nothing.The light was so bright we were all blinded,We could only feel the shockwave of that novaTear us apart.  We were engulfed in hydrogen.Life ceased,But the solar system persisted,Minus the terrestrial planetsAnd some members of the asteroid belt.Nothing would ever heal.Because I came here,This town is the end of life,The end of everything we know,The death of the future.You can't even hope to understand.** Written October 25th, 2001 © on Oct 25 2001 12:07 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
