Rich Magahiz

the girl stood sideways   the stars shone through



David Kopaska-Merkel

under the Hill
we found human skeletons
no trace of the Fae



Billie Dee

starboard view
galactic purse-seiners
fishing for moons



Charles Nelson

Piano red Mars
Cosmonaut lilac footprints
Bitter, bitter white



Deborah P Kolodji

green bronze
of the old peace lantern
antimatter showers



Brock Marie Moore

the stars woke us
too late; defleshed ulnae
stretch toward the caves



Ross Balcom

haiku death-trout
bone in throat
poem that kills



Susan Diridoni

the meteor's elbow
swings out in blue
catch of cedar



Denise Dumars

Cat called Sugar
Fish called cat—unnatural land
"Dead men working
In the cane fields."
