Honorable Mention
between sleep and proper waking
Frank Faust

and at this early morning
it is hard to judge the thinness of the line
between sleep and proper waking
a shadow moves slow-motion
against a forming sense of almost-light and brings awareness
drawing the eyes
towards the darker forms barely revealed
hair and eyes
nipples moving through postures
assumed in a careless process placement
of breasts behind a black brassiere
and then a blink
a swirl
the retreating sound of footsteps

a second glance
there is no body there
no trace
light is a little stronger
and the view across the room to window is unfettered
but closed eyes retain impressions
of shadow against gauze
filtering through the motions
slow
in-between the attitudes of sleep
and proper waking

coffee cups rattle from the kitchen
