Kuiper's Drifter
An Ode to a Former Celestial King
Pluto winks from the
Edge of our Solar System
With envy and rage.
A Brown Colony
Farthest from the blazing Sun
Plagued by Dwarfism!
Once a Mystery
Deviating away from
Natural currents.
Later deemed a King
By sight-seers with telescopes
That magnified stars!
Reduced to labels -
Stripped of all Honor and Fame -
By mere sight-seers!
Once well-recognized
As a Celestial King,
Now deemed Drifter.
Shunned by his fellow
Brethren of the Solar Tribe
No hesitation.
The exiled King skulks
At the other Eight tribesmen,
Waiting for Justice.

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.
