Black holes

When we met,
you found me in a black hole.
You pulled me out,
you held my hand.

How would I know
that you would let go,
and let me slip
yet into another black hole.

But now I know
that I can drag myself
beyond that event horizon.
I’m almost out.


***

And maybe this is not a black hole at all.
They say that you might be able to leave a black hole through a wormhole, thus being transported to another place in space and time.
And, maybe, this refers to human relationships as well...

By the way:
“Black Holes, Wormholes, and Time Machines” is a book by Jim Al-Khalili, which is magnificently written, it’s depicting the matter clearly and is even quite funny at times.
