Distant Solar System Where No One Is Lonely

Poetry, Jeremiah Moriarty

*

      *   

*     ad infinitum *

dogs on a string

pounding * the dark          *    infernal starburst

*         *

talentless show casting call 

mitosis                        math              *  subsidized                  

*

  *

cosmonaut           *

boyfriend no rugged 

*

             lodestar           hurt-cull           *                     cobalt funeral

all of us nova                   none of us           *

*

                                         oceaned          *

            *
