Clearing Taurid swarm.
Solar sails fill rapidly!
Onwards, oh, onwards.


webs collecting stardust
spun between the moons
of a binary star


those humming green moons
make for the finest moonshine
in this star system


cave art on Pluto
the eight-handed tentacles
in bold red relief


these red radishes
should not be evolving, but —
on Phobos they are


swimmers of Titan
win gold over the Earthlings
Solar System Games


the titanium threads
sewn through the primary gills
Neptunian torture


the Martian riverbed
a faded green protrusion
another skeleton


Callisto calls me
tidally locked in orbit
the sub-Jovian point


the space lumberjacks
laser-cutting crystalline trunks
among the dwarf stars
