Starlight (or Cycling at night through Hyde park)

Blue shift,
twin pulsars rotate
and spin
in this gravity well.
Doppler
red shift,
I lose sight of
red stars as they fall,
over the edge of the universe.
Dim swollen yellow giants
float by me
I free fall through stars
blinded and burnt by their light
I free fall through pieces of some dying sun
each and every one
burning
like lithium on the skin
tearing and blistering
till I am bloated and puss ridden.

The bright light battles against the dark
and I am left
cycling at night
through Hyde park.
