JD DeHart- Two Poems


Tripwire

Conversation broke
into sudden pieces.

Sky high, the world
around them on the distant
planet goes missing.

Spun out of control,
a trap they never suspected
from the other sentient race.


Removal

He was one of them
until the crime he never
heard about

A small break in custom
that would have been fine
on his home world,
a simple gesture, incorrect

So now he has no choice
but to wander the landscape
and turn over stones.
