Sagittarius A*
Spacetime
warping
at my will
binged on stars
gas giants
still
so famished for infinities
that I could swallow galaxies
and hunger in this nothingness
devouring all I must possess
in this event horizon where
not even light escapes my snare.
I'm "supermassive"
born to feed!
The universe
I'll supercede!
