White Dwarves
White dwarves are stars which want to cease their lives.
They crave a gravity-less suicide.
These globes want death. Each dwindling sparkle strives
To free itself from life. In fact, it’s died
Already, or it lingers, comatose
Beyond revival, might as well be dead,
Unless sucked up by lurking gaseous glows
Of nearby stalking stars. In that case, dread
Convulsions shake the heavens. White implodes.
Its partner’s cannibal desires devour.
This mated stellar casualty corrodes,
Its long existence gulped in one stark hour.
The dwarf escapes then into selfless death
By being swallowed in a brilliant breath.
