There
are not galaxies within me, there is a supernova, a stellar
explosion that briefly outshines an entire galaxy, radiating
as much energy as the Sun is expected to emit over its entire
lifespan, before fading from view over several weeks or
months. I’m a black hole, radiating darkness, and
encasing everyone around into the nothingness that resides
within me. I am not everlasting, my stay is meant to be
short, and I can feel it coming to an
end.
