Skimming over Neptune and
Looping into the ecliptic shadow,
The geometry of Triton encounter
Determines the final trajectory
Away from the solar world,
Deep towards the constellation
Pavo . It is likely no other star
Will be encountered in a hurl
Into the deep end of spacetime .
Looping into the ecliptic shadow,
The geometry of Triton encounter
Determines the final trajectory
Away from the solar world,
Deep towards the constellation
Pavo . It is likely no other star
Will be encountered in a hurl
Into the deep end of spacetime .
. . .
The last of the stars extinguish,
Blackholes flash and evaporate,
And as the longest wavelengths
Of light stretch in the expansion,
The matter constituting artifice
Fades into the cold, dead cosmos .
The monotone hum of interstellar
Space simmers into silence,
All is calm and nothing is bright .
