AMOR VINCIT OMNIA

Hailey Sipes

Love strikes you with his golden tipped arrow. It pierces you straight to your bone, and you tip your hat to him in greeting, for the pair of you are well acquainted.

COLLISION COURSE

Sydney Ghorayeb

In kindergarten you were just a planet to me; Now, I see a star. Not a glittering speck, but a fiery sun.

You blind me as I cross the cold void to you. You pull me away from my galaxy. Abruptly, I see that you are more than a sun. A vast solar system, with many planets on roller coaster orbits, screaming past me.

For a moment your gravity fails me. Aimless, I drift outside your asteroid gates, fearful.

What if we collide? The way we did in kindergarten. Igniting supernovas, wrecking our planets.

I hurtle on, blasting despwerate radio waves, on the brink of changing course. But you chart a route for me, and I reach you.
