In the constellation of 
CygnusThere lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The black hole
Of Cygnus 
X - 1Six stars of the northern cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the nigh
InvisibleTo telescopic eye
InfinityThe star that would not die
All who dare
To cross her course
Are swallowed by
A fearsome force
Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized at the core
Or through the astral door
To soarI set a course just east of 
LyraAnd northwest of 
PegasusFlew into the light of 
DenebSailed across the milky way
On my ship, the '
Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of 
CygnusHeadlong into mystery
The X-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole
Gains control
Spinning, whirling
Still descending
Like a spiral sea
UnendingSound and fury
Drowns my heart
Every nerve
Is torn apart
