Nova
If it were up to me, 
I would let you see everything.
You could tour the universe,
witness the end and the beginning.
You could feel what it’s like
to be sucked into a black hole
and spit forth on the other side.
You could explode like a nova,
feel yourself hurtling out from a center, bright and fast, at incredible speeds, in the darkness of space, scattering light.
