sanguine supernova

Christina Evans

 

where her starlight

touched the earth

galaxies bloomed.

 

her luminescence sacrificed,

for worlds anew.

 

life/cannot be created/or destroyed

 

so she is recycled, reborn, revived

from her decaying brilliance.

 

through the bone white/white dwarf

sternum

chrysanthemum rise and twine.
