TANKA

the big bang ever

expanding outside ourselves:

as if the suns/moons

whole galaxies cared

or even knew

Ed Higgins

***

Forty Winks by Shelly Bryant

ice melts movement starts

inhaled breath expanding lungs   

slumber shaken off

successful cryogenics

resurrection realized

***

my membrane mirrors

feed starlight to my engines

till all suns turn dark

I'll sail forever onwards

though my crew lies dead within     

Marcie Lynn Tentchoff

One-Breath

the will-o-the-wisp -- ahead -- then behind me 

Francis W. Alexander
