Honorable Mention
Missing in Action (1991)
Mia

I have entered this city with no mission
I am job hunting for itself. Sift
through the want ads, circle noon
and call it a day.

Can you hear
the faintest mewl of a kitten
pulled by a strand of wind
or the door's unoiled "no"
to the beggar's pounding?


These tidbits of thoughts
kicked along sidewalks
crawl into a corner,
shiver and collect fur.

Wherever I show up, I am missing
the present fixation. Past tense
of something left behind and forgotten

What can be salvaged by fury of action
or the constant drain of patience?


You see,
I have no light to give. Even
a street lamp blurry with vision
has warmth buried in deep yellow as
angels once perceived.

My thoughts, however,
seep through the night and bleed
the purple phlox of its hue.
