Honorable Mention A Matter of Moral Inquiry (prose poem) Denis Garrison The young woman coming down a hill path to Olongapo strides purposefully through the gray mud ruts. The rising breeze off Subic Bay cools the humid heat under her breasts through her sheer white blouse. Barefoot in the path, she carries her high heels in a pink plastic shopping bag. Her pallid brow is sweetly knitted as she contemplates the moral ambiguities of human cloning–whether it constitutes exploitation of human flesh. She must do her thinking as she walks. When her pimp meets her at the bar in Gordon Street, her brow must be smooth. He likes his cash unwrinkled. A huge nimbus cloud obscures the peak of Pinatubo. |
