So nice to get away

from the crowds, the hoi polloi -

I've got just the place in mind

Super void is a sign in space race.

A detour caution to travel around

Milky Way violent explosions- implosions.

Oo interesting theory! I love it!

Supervoid yawns wide

Swallowing galaxies whole

Universe's fast

Billion light-years dance

To the tune of dark energy

Void conducts, unheard

Empty stage of space

Milky Way, reluctant star

Audience of none

“Void conducts, unheard,” is such a great line! But I also love the last haiku and the image of the Milky Way just sort of dancing alone🖤

I scream into space

Is there anyone out there?!

No echo. Nothing.

I long for someone to come;

but alas, nothing.

Very deep! And totally relatable to a lot of us I’d imagine. Well done🖤

A huge hole in space,

Quiet and serene, until,

The tourists find it... 😎

I love that the implication here is not for physical travel. Very cool vibe🖤

You say I’m empty

Yet it is you that has left me

Alone in your void
