Honorable Mention
Point Reyes
Charles Levenstein

Something sticks in his craw,
he squeaks like an old cat,
sounds like he’ll expire unless
squeezed by a passing Samaritan.

Can’t be words that are missing,
thousands of them around just waiting
to be sentenced to death,
mercy not one of his strong qualities.

Must be all those indigestible
sexy poems written by youngsters
who just discovered the clitoris
last Sunday before church,

wondered what to do with flowering
asparagus, when the hand of God
pointed to a new way to expend
the long weekend, cheap and hot.

Not that he’s forgotten the thundering
heart, the pulsating rhythms of love
in a lonely beach house in Northern
California, exquisite memories

now thirty years old, half a lifetime
away, kept tight in a locket,
photos of skinny young rebels,
thought they’d found something new.
