a man may save himself
from the laws
of physics and of love
or stop the world
spinning
off its axis
in this universe
with planets (aligned
as they must be)
stars in constellations
(in which some have claimed
to read all things that pass)
where meteors collide:
they crash and burn
along inexorable paths,
they fall perhaps
into a black hole
where all known matter
disappears,
vanishes
without a trace,
not leaving
even the core of life’s
perpetual pulsar
which too succumbs
to forces that outweigh
and overwhelm
a solitary shooting star
in the dawn’s new day.
