Infall
Protons
Particles
Masses
Bathed
Photons
Neutrinos
Light is lifegiver and deathbringer
The open sky pretends to shield
But cannot fully
The vagaries of the universe
Plague our houses, peck out our DNA
Ozone and magnetosphere have allowed us to live
To evolve and think
Think ourselves safe
Knowledge is perhaps power
But it reveals destiny
Infalling rock
Or the next local supernova
And we are gone

I love all those space and scientific words shaping the poem.

Its a bit of an experiment, putting the words all over the place, I glad you think it works.

Oh! I’ve just realised that the words at the beginning are not where I put them. I’ve just hacked the HMTL to get the words where I want them. My question now is —do you think that improves it?
