in a ripe banana

nursing home

boyfriends from two different wars

Sea bed mining


At last hairy hand of greed touches fathomless sea bed

ignoring the existence of divine beings of water kingdom.

When Land Becomes One with the Sky



pieces of earth rose to air

and became sky islands

where we all live now

away from each other

on small pieces of land

 

I look at the sky island

which was once my school

and another one

which was once my house

flying ever closer to space

~Alper Ghuchlu




data centers-

our thirst

our dessication

~dan smith




The light tries

To fall the right way

Just like people

~Sarah Mahina Calvello




steel sky

full of aluminum

butterflies

~Mykyta Ryzhykh




he sat on his knees and scooped

up water from the lake the birds

watched him and drank the silence

~Mykyta Ryzhykh




tail raised on mudstone

a dragonfly's

prehistoric longing

~Patrick Sweeney




canals of Mars

watchtowers scout the sea

as the first martian war

rages on

humans always the same

no matter where

~Alper Ghuchlu




a laid-back neurotic

making assiduous notes

in one-room apartment

~Patrick Sweeney




all those gray-haired Yes fans

near-Earth Objects

shimmering

~Patrick Sweeney




66 years struggling to make ends meet

and she steps into a sinkhole

searching for a cat

~Patrick Sweeney




42 blackbirds singing


back end of a peacock celebrity


St Francis' statue

evidently much revered

by pigeons


many crows one testimony


a seagull snaffles

the last of my saveloy—

summer is ending


leaving me the autumn swallows

~Keith Evetts
