The Starlight SciFaiku Review, Summer 2021 (issue #1)


Page 29 — Katerina Bruno


The creatures wriggle


Cantaloupe terrain
Triton’s dirty-water ice
The creatures wriggle


Tethered to Tethys
Gravitational hiccup
A slow slide upwards


The wonder has waned
Survival is a deep grind
Deimos is brutal


Globules of light
Hang in antigravity
From the spilled water


Spacecraft thunder
Echoing through deepest chambers
Alien memories
