Moses Yuriyvich Mikheyev
“The stars grow tired, shrug their shoulders, and fall out of the sky, wearing nothing but robes of comet-white. Is she not one of the stars? She casts off her robes—steps into my room—and composes constellations.”
Moses Yuriyvich Mikheyev, A Fire in the Sunset: A Decade of Love Poems

Ethan Chatagnier
“Light takes eight minutes to travel from the sun to Earth, so if you look at it one way there’s a grace period between when the star stops burning and when the light runs out. But if you look at the first moment without light as the first possible information heralding the end of the star, there’s no time in between the star’s collapse and the light running out. The eight minutes carry the moment of collapse on their backs.”
Ethan Chatagnier, Singer Distance
