WARNING

warning
I am carbon life-
form

and this poem is
about to go blinding flash
full supernova
across the page
destroying and creating

dooming at the speed of light
huge swathes of the galaxy

and all because
of another carbon
life form of my own species

but whereas the carbon
of which I am compounded
is pretty bog-standard

hers is
light-loving, light-
defining

supernova-inducing in
its beauty so, so diamondesque
