in alien-blood drenched sand--
sudden sentience 9906.0

eases fear of the dark
--then the greys enter 9906.09

TELEPATHY

caught your thoughts again--
universal consciousness
are any thoughts MINE? 9905.31

cobwebs of my mind:
things I didn't know I knew--
spidering my thoughts 9906.02

the inundation--
telepathic misery:
angry thoughts are wounds.

telepath functions;
valuable commodity.
lie-detector slaves. 9905.06

telepathic rape. 9905.06

bury my memories
forget the lunar mis-hap
choosing amnesia 9906.15

lifetimes of toil
enthusiasm fading
immortality.

a thousand lifetimes
didn't erase my heartache--
I'm NOT coming back! 9905.31

Future suture:on
the cusp between Now and Then.
Past's impending end.

Never even seen Earthrise.
School, on the Dark Side.

no air in the shafts,
one sixth gravity is strange.
lunar prospectors.

Space statiion Delta:
sad, two thousand immigrants
living in squalor.

planets turning in
their stately rotations
--the Galaxy moves.

want food, but get paste
here too long--want to get home!

lonely, concentric orbits--
till we meet again! 9905.23

powering this ship of mine--
goodbye to the past! 9905.28

under four suns--
foreshortening. 9906.01

quiet reflections. I see
face of Muad'Dib. 9905.17

stretching to infinity
warp speed, and then some 9905.23

chance airlock meeting
no words to bridge the ages
ex-lovers; awkward. 9905.17

body shot out the photon tubes--
burial in space. 9905.09

graceful rotation,
matched; equally smooth thrust--bang!
mission accomplished. 9905.12

viewed from deck, while on duty,
we sneak a kiss 9906.12

highlighting a facial curve--

alien celebration
beneath two blue moons 9905.18

Wanted to CREATE.
Clone Wars brought reality.
Now I'm a soldier...

Vicious enemy,
now a puddle of green slime.
Who's the hero?

Clones, mutated by
a war they just could not win.
Destiny's Children.

smothering darkness,
toe-claws ticking on the deck--
afraid to exhale--

private party
last few, tired stragglers
staying to watch earthrise. 9905.21

The Great Depression=
impact crater, filled with blue sea
on my home planet. 9905.24

imprisoned on moon
watching cherry blossoms bloom

waking from stasis
unfamiliar surroundings--
am I still dreaming? 9906.09
