[sɔl]

the mass of gases that burns white hot
(not fire not a great ball of fire at all)
a star in orbit
its closest companion
57,910 kilometers away
the fleet-footed ψυχοπομπός
(who created the Συριγξ?)

it will one day consume itself
take its curtain call
in the loveliest of dresses
spectrum of light
it will expand and shed its layers
until finally
the curtains fall
lights dim
and its scorching stellar core
slowly cooling
slowly fading

once hazardous to gaze upon
when dimmed
will not be looked for
