A List of Things an Astronaut Misses About Earth
by Emily Rawn
Temperature change, the wind.
Season change. Summer to fall, green of the trees turning to yellow to brown to floating down,
down,
down
before being covered by snow.
(Up here, for him, doors shut against a void, not a season.)
Flowers.
The grape bubblegum smell of blossoming trees,
How he’d breathe on his morning run, borne on the smell of those trees.
The fuzzy smell of his mother’s peonies. The soft sweet smell of lilacs.
Sound.
The drumming of a brewing coffee pot. The hectic horn of traffic. Every sound up here has a reason, and he misses the ambient of a home.
The sun.
Not the sun, a star among stars,
His sun, which shines and warms and turns the sky gold-orange-pink-blue with passing hours.
Gravity.
Gravity, that drops rain from clouds and pencils from tables. Gravity that the birds fight against with every sailing sweep of wings. Gravity that sets his feet on the grass, that settles his limbs, gives him direction.
And he misses his body.
His body, who ran through the trees,
who settled still with gravity,
who saw the sky and never wanted to stop looking.
His body, a miracle of some god’s engineering, that somehow worked to get him inside this shuttle, staring down into the stars, down at the earth. The earth he misses so much for its beauty from above.

A Walk in the Woods
by Logann Harkness and [Esme Mergendahl]
All around, [Someone enters,]
The trees shed their leaves [An intruder, filled with]
Traces of color [admiration,]
Yellow and red, but [noticing shades of color]
Mostly brown. [that most overlook.]
Birds sing, [They stop]
goodbye and [They listen for a minute]
motifs of we will be back [They hear the wildlife]
and don’t forget spring is a [That flourishes in my]
dream away. [Branches.]
Under footsteps, [The forest hesitates]
leaves on a carpet floor. [as they do.]
The ground is soft, but [Do we dare take]
harder every minute. [another step?]
[Another step brings us]
The bitter, [closer to the unyielding]
start of cold. My tongue [cruelty of winter.]
tastes of mold and
dirt. The beginning of [As they open their]
the end. [Senses, the wood]
[pushes onward,]
The death [closer to the cold]
of everything so it [and the dark that]
can give way to [comes with the]
green, [changing of the]
to new [seasons]
to a song sang for
warm. [But we hold out]
[Hope, as they do,]
[for the soft open]
[arms that spring awaits with.]
