The end.

17.  The Parallel Universe Has Closed

The parallel universe has closed.
Dark matter we did not know existed
expanded until
the universe collapsed on itself,
every galaxy and each bright star,
every sweet hapless planet
and every moon, crushed
into the relentless gravity of
one black hole.

The parallel universe has closed, and
there will be no remembering,
for nothing - no heat, no light, no words,
no faintest ray of hope -
can emerge from that yawning maw.

The parallel universe has closed,
and there can be no future,
for there is no time left.
