“Gravitationally Completely Collapsed Objects, as Observed from A Circumstellar Accretion Disk,” by Kevin McIlvoy
Fiction faculty member Kevin McIlvoy was recently featured in the LEON Literary Review. Read an excerpt of McIlvoy’s poem below:
Gravitationally Completely Collapsed Objects, as Observed from A Circumstellar Accretion Disk
At
last
in
a
triumph
of
botany
there
is
a
black
rose
named
Baudelaire
&
a
black
tulip
named
Cup-a-joe
&
a
morning
glory
named
Grimm
resembling
a
black
hole.
Humankind
is
not
done
blackening
&
isn’t
that
a
lesson
we
should
learn
from
when
we
are
naming
children
hurricanes
pet
fish
new
parks
song-based
foods
bomb-kits
cookbooks
twitter
poems
grazing
stars
dinner
plates
extinct
insects
aging
brains?
