For today's prompt, I want you to take the phrase "Through this (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Examples could be: "Through this door," "Through this spider," "Through this rope wrapped around this person trying to get free before the bomb stops ticking," "Through this garden," etc.

Here's my attempt for the day:

"Through this black hole the universe expands"

Try to look as wicked as you can. Stand on your
hands. Demand an evil plan. I'm not saying you'll

get what you want, but most stars end up as white
dwarfs or neutron stars. They aren't big enough

to collapse and continue collapsing. Instead, they
become something entirely new, yet still burning.

Take this black hole, this massive dark future,
we could run for our lives, or we could take each

others' hands and bravely cross the event horizon
both of us looking eagerly for our happy ever after.
