dusk
shadows out of
their bodies

hare in the moon jumping double dutch

bleached bones
orbit the sun—
Icarus in flight

deep Martian aquifer—
a mollusk congress debates
the myth of stars

abandoned nursing home
the mahjong tiles
still move

a draught of the lone dragon's sorrow     morning mist

torrential rain...
an errant UFO perches 
on her umbrella

panic buying
no more shopping days
‘til Armageddon

geopolitics
the council bans gifting
other people’s moons

teeth of ferns still whispering lies about the Cretaceous

deep space at the end of my sentence a blue dot.

nightcap
her smile widens
to a ring of fangs

meteor shower
wondering if it came
from my home planet

his tinder selfie
a little too blurry—
bigfoot 

night sky
one of those stars might be
the reset button

silent jump
out of the old pond
to light speed

printing our children
on the new colony world
file not found

zero-g face lifts
everyone looks young
in space

beyond the world's edge
the flickering lanterns drift
one by one by one

the watchful eyes
of her ingredients
witch’s brew

alien tourists
the locals roll their eyestalks
at our loud English

Mount Vesuvius 
the broken gear 
on the time machine

detached 
a scientist examines 
zombie limbs

attempting to align
parallel universes
leap year

stargazing
a moment alone
with my ancestors

the alien’s language
lacking a word
for war

first time away from home metallic snow

meteor shower
how we were
infected

fetching the bones 
of the first colonists—
Mars rover

aster than the speed of lightf
