Broken fire-red fingers
claw to a distantly fading morning –
the desperate scramble
to escape a crumbling ruin:
Night.
A vacuous event horizon,
exponential in pointing to collapse –
that critical moment
of an in-folding probability:
Black.
Hawks propose plausible flights of fancy
until their negation by uproarious hunter shouts –
their lofty tangents
crashing under gravity’s wrath:
Dead.
Earthbound on a spiral string
the final turbulent moments expand into chaos –
remembering the future
in a blood red singularity:
Nothing.

This is good. A little complex in some parts (maybe just me) but did not really understand some parts.
“A vacuous event horizon,”
Not too sure what you are trying to say there… the event part and horizon confused me. Cannot really create an image with that… again maybe it is just me.
I feel as if some of your thoughts are incomplete, so am missing some of the finer points. I like the line
“Hawks propose plausible flights of fancy
until their negation by uproarious hunter shouts –
their lofty tangents
crashing under gravity’s wrath:
Dead.”
Although I could change the words around negation….it’s usually used with an of afterwards or at the ending of the sentence, since it’s the opposite of something or etc..
This poem is actually about the Universe and the theories put forward by physicists about how it will end, for instance with a black hole consuming all matter. An event horizon is the point around a black hole wherein it is impossible to escape i.e. the point of no return. Then my use of ‘negation’ was intentional as the ‘flights of fancy’(theories on our existence and possible end) are negated.
Thanks for reading, hope I could clear it up a bit there!
Yeah your explanation does help a bit. I guess I wasnt sure what the subject was but now that I know, it makes sense.
