Honorable Mention
before long she is a crime stain
vox et praeterea nihil

before long she is a crime stain
a memory of things forgotten and gained
before long she has faded
the color of silence rainwashed
and when she is jaded and scarred
a memory of things forgotten and hardened,
a thing of the memories all but discarded
lost in the back of somebody's garden

i wanted more for her than that
but before long she is a crime stain,
a rat trap, a thing to chase monsters out of the attic
a thing to trap creatures,
a thing worn and tattered,
misused and improperly guarded from weather
a crime stain, a mimic, a felony
better she leaves now while memory serves as her friend
because memory's nobody's friend in the end.
