Kevin McIlvoy: 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?

It
seems
we
are
not
done
with
this
alarmazing
task.                                                                            

Black
bamboo
made
blacker
is
named
Abyss

&
miniature
poinsettia
named
Little
Bleak

&
fruiting
cactus
named
Desolada.

Nonbotanists
have
gotten
in
on
the
act
have
invented
Vantablack
the
blackest
hair
dye
in
human
history
absorbing
99.96%
of
visible
light.

&
I
do
not
make
this
shit
up
one
word
at
a
time.

I
retreat
from
illumination
in
order
to
worm
into
the
darkness
that
is
all
mine

&
named
