Honorable Mention
The Hook-Up
Plove (Peggy Eldridge-Love)

Jarring vibrations beat the sunrise
confusing the birds on first watch.

Heroes with buzz saws
in insulated coveralls
and crap kicker boots
climb out of cherry pickers
onto the frail corspes
of wind whipped oaks,
willows and elms.

Hasty prayers rise
for these selfless wonders
as intertwining wires
pop alive and dance
their double-dare,

and, for a while at least,
we are grateful
for their nimble gifts
of connection.

We hail their praises
at six and eleven until
lights are restored
and our hands
are once more warm.

Satiated, amnesia sets in
and an outcry builds,

annoyed now
by their thoughtless
predawn vibrations.
