I.
we’ve got 20 minutes left
to the supernova
and we’ve got front row tickets
to the end of the show
and I’m very excited
and I’m excited indeed

it is strange
nasa had no comment
on any of this

II.
she seems unusually warm
it makes me want to embrace her light
even if I have to burn to do so

when they saw her
the planets seemed to stop moving
and each and every crater
each and every feature
illuminated by her increasing radiance
to the point where I am blinded-

III.
by the light of a dying star
I wait for the end to arrive
as the lights go dimmer
and the stars disappear
and reappear, brighter
than ever
I wait for the end of the world

in the endless void of space
no-one can see you applaud
