this poem is about black holes in space, not about a person

She used to glimmer-sparkle-spin like a pinwheel in a small town parade now she's rasping- reeling and collapsing one massive black hole playing charades. The helix has unwound and denatured she's a sundial crusher in sunlight decay elements of living bled out many eons ago there is no music or chorus left in her soul... Everything lies wounded-dying or dead nothing escapes this black hearted wretch She is abyss and nothing more nothing less she has swallowed whole the last lantern fish.

Black holes have always fascinated me, and now after reading this, you have stirred my interest, so I may be diving into some black hole research. A great poem idea, Anthony. I knew immediately what this was.
