Tablet

Fierce little whirlwind Swirling and folding, effervescing Substance collision, a nucleus Tiny fireworks rising then bursting A globe in a bucket of acid Being consumed, absorbed fully, watching This miniature landscape burning up Under the weight of its own sun Dispersing completely, another world In a glass of milky way

The beginning of a universe or the extinction of a star? Regardless I can see it blazing across the sky in all its glory. I loved the last lines imagery.
