Like Smoke

by Paul Sands

It seems as though our visitors may have returned, or at least their feline portent

I saw a black cat
when a black cat
wasn’t ever there

I saw this black cat
who was comfortably sat
beneath my very chair

but that black cat
was not so sat,
because it wasn’t there

and I saw that cat
when it glared right back at
my own quizzical stare

UNTITLED

by nick armbrister

UNTITLED

I know it’s you, though
You couldn’t hide from...

TRUE

by nick armbrister

TRUE

Then… Airplane falling wreathed in fire, ruined
bonfire dragged down by gravity to a watery grave.
Broken machine resting on the seabed, silence
reigns in Deaths’ triumph.

Now… Test Pilot Feng Yi and five of his comrades flying
air tests on red China’s brand new J11 fighter.
Saw many old planes in formation, props and jets.
Near mid air, no rada...
