“a starless galaxy carrying gas and shrouded in dark matter” a townless galaxy rich in sulfur a gas cloud plummeting towards the milky way         home you are reminded and now pale peels off you, shaved as ice the implosion completes itself in four ways replicated by the gravitational lens of something heavier than itself time in time in time rich in sulfur and algae blooms everything beneath the meniscus heavier than itself drowning in algae blooms purple mollusks, sardines sea lions swallowed by forests of kelp guts full of domoic acid and forget we eat the toxin-laced fish and cannot talk about what we wanted to talk about star matter, rich in sulfur rich in dark matter, heavier than starless towns home heavier than itself toxin laced, eating and drowning on matterless stars
