Poetic Interlude: Plumeria
Once fragrant
Neighborly given
Displayed; humbled
Overwhelming the interior
Scent out; shelved
Literally
No more to figure

Poetic Interlude: Past Particle
A tale from the end of the Universe
The last particle
Torn asunder
Drifted farther
From anything
Before
Shredding
Silent
No companion
To share its dissipation
Not even consciousness
Remained to witness
Ultimate solitude
Preceded nothing
Inspired by this news story from August, 2015.
