you, on earth
I, on andromeda II
long distance affair
- catherine oliva

a priest
traveling the cosmos
in a hypercube tesseract

PLUTO
by WC Roberts
Pluto
ball of ice towed near the sun
grows a tail
***
In the deadly void
The Soyuz capsule drifted
No life signs aboard
***
Sol is far away
alien stars cross the sky
Blue earth fills my dreams
*
This ship is my world
Empty corridors echo
My comrades still sleep
***
finally I succumb
to the octopod's wishes--
it's lonely in space
***
no pizza on the menu
space junk
is the view
LeRoy Gorman
***
unzipping the membrane
protoplasmic ecstasy
free at last
***
sunrise.. sunset,
cruisin' in a Chevrolet
orbiter
***
