LOVE LETTERS FROM A BLACK HOLE©2025 Sara Etgen-Baker
Gravity bends; time stretches, light falters. Love letters appear through the void; Written in the language of stardust, their ink swirls like the arms of faraway galaxies. Through the event horizon, I write back penning my heart to you with stardust and hope, each letter a promise that I will find you in the swirling chaos where love defies gravity. I have discovered the truth: even from a black hole, love can escape. In its orbit, we are infinite. (poem written for BLACK HOLE LOVE POETRY CONTEST, Tom Woody Sponsor)
