Soul of a Dead Star Waltz (shape poem)

You dance, leading me rhythmically,
in a slow waltz at three/four time,
while I lag behind at six/eight,
never hoping to catch you.

I feel my essence drawn out
in spirals, whirling around you,
deeply drawn by inescapable pull,
melding into your core being.

My particles pass an event horizon
and are totally reintegrated into you,
while reflections showing our former life
fountain red shifted into the cosmos.

Still, that tune draws me along,
so I will sacrifice all that I am
and keep dancing with you
for a millennium longer.

Play solar winds, star brass,
nuclear strings, play on forever!
We will wander the galaxy together
as long as any matter remains with me.
