Collision of Galaxies
he was so casual about it,
showing a simulation of our beloved Milky Way
being ripped apart in its collision with the Magellan galaxy
in a few billion years, when our jewel of an Earth will be long gone
eaten by our swollen and dying sun, everything destroyed and
gone to ashes.
where will the ghosts reside, the temperatures will get too extreme
for any ilk, the good or the bad, angel's wings will fry or frost
and devils will toast their marshmallows quickly.
casually he continues his slide show, ending with the
statement that he'll be long gone in any case,
as will I, but somehow it strikes me as inordinately
sad that this beautiful world
will exist no more.
