Honorable Mention
Throwing Away Love Letters
J. Bescup


I triple bag them
still the weight
threatens to break.

I am terrified they will
fly out all over the street;
a scene typically reserved for
nightmares and movies.

There is no entry
for “incinerator”
in the yellow pages,
and way too much
to consider shredding,
so a neighborhood
dumpster must do.

I move a bit too efficiently,
like a jittery murderer
disposing of a corpse.
The bag looks just as any other
piece of garbage does.
I have done well.

“good,”
I say
and shudder.
