space bit

A poem I wrote while on a binge of media relating to the astrophysicist Brian Cox. His way of explaining space is incredible in his enthusiasm and genuine mannerisms. 

Rare Earth, scarce solar system

Dual star siphoning interstellar entity 

Intangible and unimaginable galaxy

Unswimmable ocean, unintruded swamp

Exponential growth, inconsequential replication 

Implausible detection, silent civilization 

Quieter than the dead, darker than in bed

Filled with light, cloaked in eternal night

Pitch-black stellar screen

Hypothetically immoral interference 

Intergalactic law, future fixed flaw

Or merely, tribes only rise to swiftly fall

Orchid wreckage, birthed to bloom

gone so soon; unbeatable horizon filter

Heavy hitter, advanced event spark snuffer
