Upon learning that an impossibly large black hole exists
The scientists found it and now we can read
how large it is: 70 times more massive
than our sun, yet dark and passive.
Still, light cannot plead
its case with it. How can we prove
that which we cannot see?
By the way it pulls at whom we
are closest; steadily and silently. No love
can escape it. There is no physics
(not even perhaps with the new fifth force)
to explain how dense the loss of its source
has become. And so we call on the mystics
to ease the pain akin to swallowing an atomic balm
to fill the space left (with a new star) after losing one's mom.
