Is this some sort of homage to Asimov?

Yes. I'm happy that someone picked up on it.

I'd read Asimov's novelette as part of a college sci-fi class, and wrote this poem a few years later. It's got a similar apocalyptic concept with the sun dying out, but doesn't attempt to replicate his story.

The poem does work well as a stand-alone, in my perspective.

A masterpiece!
