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.

An imperfect mirror
At 80 degree angles
Rounding underground curves

Poetic Interlude: Imminent Deluge

Iridescent clouds cresting mountaintops

Made ominous

Simile defiant

Drifting ever toward

Dissipation
