Death Is Forever

Malevolence, the wilting twilight cascade A fading sun, magma-laden neutron pulse Reckoning, the dying starlight nebulous Archaic giants long-since dead and yet beheld A sunburst sky, frayed and tattered in its death throes Planet coils, the cries of stellar flares implode Magellanic has drowned, lapsing squalls and sundered thrones The Blueshift aggregates while star-flung novas clash Even the stars will burn out All that once thrived will soon die Heliospheric, chondrite violence Quantum fields invert, no more inviolate Apex in abrogation, azimuth bespoken Roiling light swarms obliterating Astride the lunar belt, extinction rages closer Unguent, a salve against all light that dies Moon-scarred and cluster-born, destiny awoken A precious glimpse of what must come Finality, resolute the final epoch Parallax, perihelions colliding Oblate, lenticular, a ward that will not save them Comes the murder of the stars within its very hands Even the stars will burn out Even the suns will burn out All that is life will scream out Staring down the spectrum Of all that shall Never come to pass Call-of-anc-ient-moon-corpse-thrash-ing-to-be-heard Screams-in-death-res-ound-ing-of-all-sent-ient-life And-at-the-end-as-once-be-gun And at the end, as once begun Monoliths, sprawling across eternity Aeons of dust, the spectrum of all That shall never come to pass
