Interview With A Black Hole

set the recorder, ask the void what it knows feel the drag and pull but hear no noise then throbs of pain disrupt my heart does the void cause that or was it there from the start? sometimes my untrained ear hears more "don't view as a void but an unseen door" but I'm on the outside, I can't pass through I feel shut out whilst trying to talk to you this power over me I can't explain though I agree to join forces but then you refrain I want to walk away but I stay in place often with tears streaming down my face surely not just a void, please show me more nothing to challenge what I concluded before but the energy I feel when we touch makes me forget, think nothing is too much so I hover right here, waiting to know feeling disconnect, like I really should go molecules that separate, don't want to mix but shake us up and it looks like we're fixed interview attempted, tell me how things are but just one sided chat that has gone too far held in the dark, drawn onto this ride forget my own mind, I'm not on my own side so compelling to be around, an attraction beckons years pass me by, in a couple of your seconds you're all knowing and I'm useless chatter I'm important now, but if I concede I won't matter no one is wiser at the end of these tapes I could listen on loop remake all my mistakes you're a force on me I cannot translate a life time stranded in the name of fate

I was surprised at how I took to the theme so easily (had to try and figure out after if I'd represented the science well enough). There's no much that can be morphed into a sizable piece of introspection I'm learning :) thank you for your encouragement x

Dear DD, I love how you dig into the enigmatic relationship between self and the unknown, beautifully capturing the struggle of communication with the void. The contrast of desires for understanding yet feeling disconnected is wonderful. I also liked your exploration of vulnerability and attraction within this cosmic dialogue, which is thought-provoking. DD, you really touch upon the complexities of existence and the allure of the inexplicable. - Blessings, Daniel

It's one of those that just flew when I was in the right place to write it - no idea if I'm on the money but I did enjoy the process. Thanks for your kind words and thoughtful analysis, appreciated

So that’s how you interview a black hole Dilly, what a concept to behold, they really don’t give away very much but hey you certainly give this reader so much food for thought, and I certainly feel a lot wiser by the approach you’ve taken here, (molecules that separate, don't want to mix) that is so true, one of the paradoxes that pop up on the event horizons of black holes, excellent poem, and a great one for the contest, cheers David

You've picked out my favourite line there :) I did try and read about black holes (as an afterthought haha) but I can only really go on gut feel as it's a bit too complex for me to get my head around - but hey, if I'm offering an education here I'll take it :) thank you for your kind review and ongoing encouragement :)
