Catch and Release
A young girl serendipitously discovers treasure at the beach.
By Aly De Angelus
Along the shoreline laid a frozen star
Baking, beholden by the summer sun
A treasure caught in ocean's mystic jar
Bronzed and bare, her life on Earth undone
Coral spun from jagged spears of ice
Darted past the Milky Way's cool fridge-let
Collected broken conch in stratus thrice
Dressing undersea Asteroid's inlet
Enchanted waves pushed the star high, ergo,
Frothy, little penthouse emerges from sand
Each pulse sends ripples to the moon-tide, low,
Filthy, brittle basket star scooped by hand
Gasping, shell shocked, both exhale intensely
Gazing at her pail, tips over accidentally

Home Run, Snow Beard
By Aly De Angelus & Robert Haynes It’s been nearly a week since it happened and it still doesn’t seem real. I should just lay here forever. I caught a glimpse of honey brown eyes and spotted fur through a gap in the duvet, just as a thin line of drool dangling from his mouth splashed across my face.
