Black Holes and a Ship called “Desire”

This week for Read~Write~Poem the prompt is to write a Sci-Fi themed poem. I really like this prompt as I enjoy reading science fiction books. If you ever have a chance to travel to the deep space mining colonies, maybe you’ll hear this drinking song that astroid miners sometimes sing when they return after a tour of duty.

Black Hole-Powered Jet of Electrons and Sub-Atomic Particles Streams From Center of Galaxy M87

I was lucky enough to find a miner to record this song, hope you enjoy his deep and husky voice.

out past the halo
where the comets
do roam
out past the halo
where the cold
froze your bones
radiation will fry you
when the light
fades away
so come through the door
take your helmet
off here

so raise your glass high boys
for black holes
and beer
raise your glass high
for a ship
called desire
drink down that liquor
before you return
to that ship
called desire
and the black holes
of home

out past the belt
where the rocks
do tumble
out past the belt
where the ice
breaks in shards
gravity will grab you
when the astroids
spin by
so come through the door
take your helmet
off here

so raise your glass high boys
for black holes
and beer
raise your glass high
for a ship
called desire
drink down that liquor
before you return
to that ship
called desire
and the black holes
of home
