longest and darkest night of the year
and i spent most of it watching
the annual physics breakthroughs
learning about the background noise of gravitational waves that we
black holes
should’ve produced as we spiralled into each other
faster and faster
closer and closer to the speed at which i wish i could reach you
before we deformed and collided
into each other
yet no chirp was to be heard
no conclusive evidence for our dance
no calculation of our individual masses
and no pulsar light
millisecond star blenders
spoonful of which heavy as mountains
will ever be used to reconstruct
our encounter
from the low-frequency gravitational hum
permeating the universe
since its very beginning
