Analysis of Black Hole
Ken Carroll 1957 (Biloxi)
We make black hole love
Our bodies and souls
Spinning into infinity
Caught in fathomless gravity
Suspended in the event horizon
Creating the energy between us
And the black holes in your eyes
The space between your thighs
I can’t escape your nebulous kiss
That deforms space and time
Collapsing into your center
Love that radiates particles of light
We are two merging galaxies
Two black holes at the core
Changing the axes of our spins
This far abyss feels like home…
