It’s womb was a black hole
Nay a white hole
That expels rather than impels
The egg looked like a moon
Adrift beyond the orbits
A solar system trembled
When the egg cracked
And the great serpent silvered
Into the darkness
As a baby it coiled
Round the rings of Saturn
And struck at meteors
Fully grown it dislocated its jaw
And swallowed the sun
The luminous lump moved through its body
Shinning light between its scales
Once the sun had been digested,
The snake hissed solar flares
Into the empty regions of space
Its shed skin is often mistaken
For a new constellation
To this day, it glows burning white
And leaves a glittering trail
Through the universe
