Minions of the Moon

By Deborah P. Kolodji & Ann K. Schwader

crescent grins

halfway to the horizon

minions of the moon

permanent footprints

in a video landscape

miscalculation

a formula in yards

not meters

Houston Houston

do you read the static

of history

another flat-line

in decontamination

pure wilderness

still sovereign despite

that flag
