moon shadows chase each other
across frozen skies
each child's task undone
their mother's eyes cold as her heart
bones huddle and crack under their
coverlet of ancient earth
father opens his large red eye
bares her with burning love
sparks dance, wink out
our stars look much the same

Wave Without a Shore
Collisions of black holes
and neutron starsshake the table
every day.
How many of us lived and died
before we ever knew?
We are the sea
through which the waves pass
and cross and pass again
we are the water
there is nothing else.

Europa’s
been
slapped around a bit
she
can’t leave her Da
Or does it work better as a lune?
Or does it work better as a lune?
Europa’s
been slapped
too
often
Jupiter’s
handprints
Maybe a fib:
Maybe a fib:
look
at
her
face
Jupiter’s
worked
her over good
but
still Europa doesn’t leave
