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.
