Honorable Mention
Small Shells with Spikes
Gary Blankenship

I
hear
music,
skins beat wild
their echoes unseen.

Blocked as termites chomp,
sow bugs curl.
Nature’s static jams the music
I desire, I need.

I hold your sound close
to my ear,
the roar
holds
me.

I
hear
rhythms,
whistles trill
their tempo muted.

Green barricades and wet webs
keep the dark rhythms
at dream’s length
too soft, too gentle.

I turn you around
in faint hope
your voice
will
rise.

I
hear
music,
and I hope
the music will hear me.

Too many bright days
too much surf
too many drinks
filled with soaked fruit to understand.

I have been asleep
and to wake,
I need
your
help.
