Tensing, pulling, readiness, and resistance
as much as we can
gather
before -SNAP-
to hold a purpose
no more
holding together
Just
when life recoils, takes cover
inside
and becomes slack
limp before
taut
all comes back
to holding on-
to Nothing
tight.

This
hour
Our
His-Hers-For-
ever
lost love
In
(time)
spaces squeezes
warps-distorts-skews
One plus One
is Nothing
if one is taken away.
When divided
remains one
Doesn't matter
place-
holders or containers
for counting
in circles
and talking
more or less
one share
of the pi.
As soon as
circumferences
can be drawn
like conclusions,
no connections
could be made
around
the pull, repulsion,
tension
of
dark matters
held whole and balanced
by the space
between
then and Now.

English: About 1,600 light-years away, in a binary star system fondly known as J0806, two dense white dwarf stars orbit each other once every 321 seconds. Interpreting x-ray data from the Chandra Observatory astronomers argue that the stars' already impressively short orbital period is steadily getting shorter as the stars spiral closer together. Even though they are separated by about 80,000 kilometers (the Earth-Moon distance is 400,000 kilometers) the two stars are therefore destined to merge. Depicted in this artist's vision, the death spiral of the remarkable J0806 system is a consequence of Einstein's theory of General Relativity that predicts the white dwarf stars will lose their orbital energy by generating gravity waves. In fact, J0806 could be one of the brightest sources of gravitational waves in our galaxy, directly detectable by future space-based gravity wave instruments.
