COSMIC BONES


Beyond the misty forgotten past


and beyond the future of galactic death

the end of the universe was just cinders and ash

 

About the past so much destroyed

infinite bleakness in a howling void

 

About the future only misery and dread

brutality and embers a universe dead  

 

Then something appeared vast and unknown

colossal and craggy nebulas long

 

A gargantuan bone fell into space

a gruesome puzzle from some disant place

 

Then more came too galactic and white

twisting and tumbling into sight

 

They were the jagged bones of a cosmic carcass

spinning and floating through the endless darkness 

 

There was nothing left except death and rot

the memory of blazing battles and wars fought

 

There was only a final travesty to consider

about these celestial bones of God

 

Who was the killer?
