Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

Glitch

In the blackest of nights, like tar so thick 
time tangled into a bewitching twist
as hours faltered in starts and fits
minutes and seconds lost their wits
and tumbled into a frightening glitch. 

A black hole swallowed the grid of time
glitches of past and future timelines 
history was swept into a vortex mine
panic reigned, an apocalyptic sign
while the universe fled, never more to shine.

Gershon Wolf November 20, 2019 at 11:26 AM Fascinating idea, Laura. Much food for thought, and something to look into: 'The Collapse of Time,' at least as we know it. Cheers, Gershon Laura Leiser November 20, 2019 at 1:39 PM Thank you, Gershon! :)
