Death is not a shadow

Death is not a shadow, it is a black hole
and you are not a life
you are a star
around you orbit multitudes
and around them orbit satellites
whose movements can be measured to the meter
on distant shores a cosmos away
And when the blackness envelopes you
and your orbs are flung into the dark
it is not one death but countless
rippling through the boundless fabric of space
to be mourned for eternity.
