Honorable Mention
this edge (my spindly expanse) when the rapture pleasant
vox et praeterea nihil

this edge, this
momentary edge between
...yeah, it
i think
moves me

my spindly expanse across
this lurid scene, this
momentary loss between
the canvas and the stitched up seam
...yeah, it
i think it does,
yes
it does

when the rapture pleasant
swoops in dark, silent, leather wings
flapping, starless nights
when the beauty and music
is stripped naked and hollow

skeletons dancing
their delicate chances we
pelican-balanced long after
the moment's gone
long after the rapture's done

my ephemeral voice
the ghost of a boy's old closet of toys
this moment of choice, this
bountiful momentary ceasing of noise
...yeah, it
i think
this edge, this
solitary edge, delicately wedged between
...yeah, it
i think
moves me

to great heights and depths
to great lights and shades
to where she wept
to where we played

to where we spoiled and wasted the magic today
to where we boiled and tasted the things
we ought to have kept
locked tight away.
